ESTILL AMBURGEY:
Born November 3, 1903, deceased this life July 1, 1976, making his stay here on earth 72 years seven months and 28 days. He was the son of Albert and Cassie Amburgey, who preceded him in death.
His departure leaves several broken hearted people; his wife Cora of Pinetop, Kentucky; one son Ellis Amburgey of Medway, Ohio; three daughters Fairie Watts of Miamisburg, Ohio Fern Watts of Hindman, Kentucky and Neil Pratt of Leburn. Also three brothers John J. of Sassafras, Kentucky; Burn of Pinetop, Kentucky and Odus of Amburgey, Kentucky; one sister Fronie McIntosh of Brinkley, Kentucky, seven grandchildren and a host of friends and relatives.
He belonged to the Ball Branch Church of the Old Regular Baptist Church at Mousie, Kentucky. He loved the brotherhood and served them as deacon for several years. His home was always open for Jesus and his friends. It always made him and mom feel so good when they would visit them.
He was ill several years, mainly with gall bladder. When the pain got so severe he decided to have surgery. Before being operated on April 6, he said if he didn't return from surgery that he was ready to go. That same night after surgery with the family gathered
around him thinking everything was going to be alright, he told them not to get their hopes up too much, for this ain't all of it. There's
more to come. April 11 he had a massive stroke and lingered until July 1 when God called him home.
Our hearts are broken and the tears keep falling, because our loss is great, but we believe he has paid his final debt and is resting with Christ, his redeemer.
