Henry Clay Ambrose 
General Notes
Attended Otterbein University. Left school to enlist. Had just recently been elected to City Council at time of his death.
He was also a preacher according to his grandson, Richard Henry. I have his New Testament which is heavily underscored and annotated and filled with clippings. It was a gift to him from his daughter, Mary Etta on July 4, 1908. After his death, it was returned to her and she added a note: "After fathers death Nov 18-1915 This book came back to me and I want Richard to have it, as his book, + to read it for grand-pa's and Mothers sake - Etta C." Barbara Predmore Williams found the book among her parent's effects and sent it to Richard Henry at Christmas, 1974. Richard Henry gave it to his daughter, 15 May 1990.
