Feb. 17, 1921. "Joins the Roll of the Silent. Some Facts from the Life of Samuel B. Ambler."--Samuel Bruce Ambler was born in Businessburg, Belmont county, Ohio, on June 12, 1857, a son of Calvin and Mary Duvwal Ambler. In 1876 when a young man of nineteen years he came to Sidney, Iowa, making his home with Dr. and Mrs. McCracken. When he had finished his course in the public schools of Sidney he went to Iowa City to take up the study of medicine which choice was instilled into him by his long association with the able and kinldly Dr. McCracken who was one of the pioneer physicians of this section. From Iowa City Mr. Ambler went to Ensworth Medical college, St. Joseph, Missouri, from which institution he received his diploma. Returning to Iowa, Dr. Ambler located first at Thurman, but after a few months practice at that place he came back to Sidney and joined in practice with his friend and mentor, Dr. McCracken. As age and infirmity grew upon the latter the practice gradually fell to Dr. Ambler's lot and at the death of Dr. McCracken he carried on the practice alone until the state of his own health forced him to desist. In all these years Dr. Ambler proved himself a concientious, unselfish minister to the bodily ills of the community. The night was never too dark or storm so severe that he could not hear the cry of distress, and often times he traveled afar to render relief when the physical suffering of the physician was greater than that of the patient. On April 26, 1893, Dr. Ambler was married to Miss Mary McCormick of Tabor. To them three children were born: namely, Inez Winnifred, Carl McCormick, Cecil Calvin, all of whom, together with wife and mother, are left to mourn the loss of a kind and provident husband and father. Three brothers also survive: namely, L..S. Ambler of Omaha, T. M. Ambler of Shenandoah, M. B. Ambler of Los Angeles. His only sister, Mrs. J. W. Dilts, died at Raymond about twenty four years ago. In 1896 Dr. Ambler purchased the Riley Keeler drug store, which was conducted in his name at the time of his death. In later years when disease fastened itself upon him, Dr. Ambler gradually withdrew from the practice of his chosen profession. Physician that he was, he realized his true condition, though this knowledge he steadfastly withheld from his family and friends, maintaining a cheerful exterior always, and up to a few weeks ago was in daily attendance at his business. At that time he was forced to take to his bed where he lingered in geat suffering until 4:15 p.m. on Thursday, February 10, when his spirit was called to that fair home where, "those who are whole need not a physician." The funeral services were held from the Methodist church Sunday afternoon, February 13th. The same were conducted in the presence of an unusually large gathering by Rev. Raoul R. Moser, who was assisted by Rev. John W. Todd of the Presbyterian church. The body was laid to rest in the Sidney cemetery where the services at the grave were in charge of the I.O.O.F. of Sidney, of which order Dr. Ambler was a honored member. The pall bearers were six busines men of Sidney, Sam Nix, Ross Nix, Fred Hiatt, C.E. Spratlen, F.R. Shannon and C. J. Esden. Relatives from out of town who were present at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Tap Ambler and daughters, Misses Doris, Caro and Freena; Paul Ambler and wife of Shenandoah; Mr. and Mrs. Smith Ambler and daughter Ora of Omaha; Ira McCormick, Miss Mabel McCormick and Mr. and Mrs. Fred McCormick of Tabor.

February 17, 1921. "Farragut News".--A gloom of sadness passed over the community Thursday morning when it ws learned that W.S. Coy, Sr. had passed away at 6 o'clock that morning. Two days previous he had helped his son, Arthur, and nephew E.C. Coy, load a car of hogs at this place. The deceased was born November 29, 1850, two miles north of Abbingdon, Illinois. In the spring of 1856 he moved with his parents and family to Ringgold county, Iowa, where they lived one year. In the spring of 1857 they located on the old Major W.D. Coy farm where Frank Rush now lives. There he grew to manhood and stayed in the home until both his parents passed away. He saw, he experienced, he endured all that took place on the pioneer prairie of the west. No railroads, no schools, no churches, just a broad tract of prairie. His education was finished at Manti school. He always regretted his inability to acquire an education, but lived to see his children college graduates. His future education was the newspaper, the chautauqua, the church and the general school of expeirence. On January 18, 1863 he was married to Miss Phelina Pease of this vicinity. To this union were born five children, two of whom died in infancy and Miss Clara who was killed in a automobile accident at Phelps, Missouri, July 22, 1911. The two other two children, Arthur and Miss Ramona are at home. After their marriage they at once located on his farm north of town where they have since resided and always actively engaged in stock farming. With his family he made several trips to the west, Colorado, southern California, Oregon and Washington with a view of locating, but nothing ever looked as good to him as did his home in the Nishna Valley and where he planted every tree, set every post and built every building. Here he planned to live and die. The farm and its improvements, one among the best in the community, stands as a material monument to their efforts. He was a charter member of the Congregational church and for years in his early life sang in the choir. He was a member of the Modern Woodman Lodge and held a financial interest in nearly all the enterprises in town and was president of the Farragut Service Co. The deceased was a likeable man personally, of clean habits, a favorite with children, always congenial with hired help and tenants and had an active constructive disposition in every business way. He was one of the true pioneers of the vicinity. He was a brother-in-law of Henry Rogers, J. A. Coleman and J. E. Pease and his mother was of the well known Latimer family. He leaves to mourn his loss his wife, two children, numerous relatives, besides friends and neighbors of nearly 51 years standing. The funeral was held at the home Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock conducted by his old friend, Rev. J. H. Skiles of Shenandoah. The music was furnished by Mesdames A.D. Coleman, C. A. Vaughn, Messrs. G.C. Baker and Seth Cox with Miss Grace Clark at the piano. The pall bearers were Messrs. E.D. Coy, Loren Coy, Wm. S. Coy, Jr., Dr. Herbert D. Coy, Harry Coy and A. D. Coleman. The funeral was largely attended. Burial was made in the Farragut cemetery.

"A Veteran Automobile".--A 1910 model Hupmobile,the oldest registered car in Ringgold county, is a companion rather than curiosity to Asa Raines, 79. Mr. Rains, who claims that "it's all in knowing your car whether or not you lose your head," drives the machine without trouble through congested traffic. Tempting offers in the way of money or a new car in trade have been turned down by Mr. Rains. "Nothing less than death will part me and that machine," he says. The "Hup" is a right hand drive, has carbide lights, rubber bulb horn, no starter, no fan belt, no batteries or coils and the oil is fed at the same time as the gasoline. The car was purchased by Mr. Rains July 3, 1911, for $600 and the next day he and his wife drove to Mount Ayr to a Fourth of July celebration. Since that time Mr. and Mrs. Rains have made many long trips and have also used it to haul produce. One tire has been on the car twelve years, another for eight years and nother has a record of not being removed for five years. When Mr. Rains purchased his license for 1931 he commented on the prices paid since he bought his first license plates. The first year he paid $10. For several years he paid only $4 annually, the $8 and now $10. All the old license plates have been saved except for 1912 and 1913, which were used by Mr. Rains to patch a chicken coop.
