Obituary - The Evening Star (Washington, D.C.), January 24, 1914:
Edmund L. Amiss, Seventy Years Old, Is Dead After a Long Illness.
Special Correspondence of the Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md., January 24, 1914.
Edmund L. Amiss, among Montgomery county's best known citizens, died Thursday night at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. William D. Robertson, aged seventy years. His death was due to a complication of diseases and followed a long illness. Surviving him are his wife, who was a Miss Green of this county, and the following children: Mrs. Robertson, Mrs. Stanley Platt and Harry Amiss of Gaithersburg, and Robert D. Amiss of Bluefield, W. Va. The funeral took place at 2 o'clock this afternoon from Grace Methodist Church, Gaithersburg, the services being in charge of Forest Oak Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of which lodge Mr. Amiss was a charter member.
Mr. Amiss was a native of Albermarle county, Va., and was the last of five brothers, the four others having been practicing physicians well known in Virginia. He served throughout the civil war in the Confederate army. Immediately following the war he taught school in Virginia for several years, and in 1874 removed to this county. For about thirty years he taught in the public schools of this county, most of the time as principal of the schools at Gaithersburg and Middlebrooke.
Mr. Amiss was a lifelong democrat and a number of years ago represented this county in the house of delegates. For many years he served as an election official for Gaithersburg district. He was one of the organizers of Ridgely Brown Camp of Confederate Veterans of this county, of which he was adjutant from its organization until his death.
