General Notes: Husband - Alexander C. Amberson

---

He was a farmer most of his life, but in 1882 he sold his farm, and moved to Mercer, Pennsylvania, where he lived a retired life. He was first lieutenant of a military company in Mercer County in 1850. He served as a justice of the peace in Findley Township for fifteen years, and as school director for nine years. He was a Democrat until 1856, when he joined the Republican party because of the agitation of slavery. He and wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church.
