Cory---At his residence in Jamestown township, June 11, 1883, 
Ambrose Cory, aged 69 years, 10 months and 22 days.
   The deceased was born in Jefferson county, N.Y., July 19, 
1813.  In 1827 he moved with his parents to St. Lawrence 
county.  While a young man he united with the Baptist church.  
On May 11, 1837, he married Eliza E. Munn.  Ten children were 
born to them, nine sons and one daughter.  One son died in 
infancy and the rest survive him.  In 1847 he moved with his 
family to Chester, Ohio, and two years later to Farmer, 
Defiance county, he being one of the first settlers of that 
section and endured all the privations and hardships that 
fell to the lot of pioneers.  Although always afflicted with 
asthma from childhood he was of an ambitious nature and many 
times worked beyond his strength.  In 1864 he removed to 
Jamestown township, this county, where he ever after resided.  
The funeral occurred on the 13th from his late residence, 
being conducted by Rev. W. A. Kingsbury, of Kinderhook.  All 
his children were present with the exception of two sons who 
live in the west.  He was a kind and affectionate husband, a 
loving father and a kind neighbor and his death will be 
sincerely mourned by a large circle of friends.
