Obituary

"Died at his residence, Spring Garden, Cherokee County, AL July 4, 1863 Mr. W.H. Amberson in the 60th year of his age.
The deceased was a man of great energy, perseverance and sterling integrity of character.

As a neighbor, husband, father or friend, he performed his duties faithfully. He was for forty years or more, an humble consistent member of the Presbyterian church. For two years before his death he was subjected to great suffering often to the most excruciating pain, but he was enabled to bear all his afflictions with patience and resignation. Relying upon the merits of Jesus, he sank to rest."
