General Notes: Husband - Dr. Jacob T. Ambrose, M.D.

---

He was reared on the family farm, where he remained until he was of age. He attended the township schools and the Ligonier Academy. At the age of twenty he commenced teaching, and taught in the township schools for twelve years. In 1862 he enlisted in the One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, for a term of nine months. He was in the hard-fought and bloody battle of Chancellorsville and other minor engagements. He was discharged at the expiration of his term, and again enlisted, this time in the state troops for the defence of Pennsylvania against Lee. In 1867 he commenced the study of medicine under the preceptorship of Dr. J. A. Miller, of Ligonier, and in 1870 was graduated from the Long Island College of Medicine, in Brooklyn, New York. In the same year he began the practice of his profession in Stahlstown, where he remained for five years. In 1875 he removed to Ligonier, where he then practiced, making a term of service in the valley of thirty-six years. He attained success in his profession, and was the valued medical adviser of a large clientele in the valley and borough. He was a Democrat in politics, served as school director and was a member of the board of health for ten years. He was a member of the Lutheran church, of which he was an elder. He was also a member of the State and County Medical Association, and of the Ligonier Medical Association. Dr. Ambrose's residence was a handsome brick dwelling on Main street, Ligonier, which he built in 1889. His offices were in a separate building adjoining his home.
