Cash, Amy Ambrose -

Amy Ambrose Cash, teacher, author, musician, and longtime resident of Lenox died December 21 at the age of ninety-seven

years.

Services were conducted on Wednesday, December 23 at 1:30 p.m. at the Lenox United Methodist Church. Officiating

were Reverend Lester Hesseltine, pastor, and Reverend Herbert Cross of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, nephew of

Mrs. Cash.

Amy, a respected and well known citizen of Lenox, was the subject of a feature story written by Zelma Stark for the Lenox

Time Table and published October 3, 1979. Amy had been named "Woman of the Year" by the Kappa Zeta sorority during the annual Commercial Club picnic in August of that year, and was photographed with the certificate. The award, according to Amy, was the only one she had ever received, and she expressed surprise and gratitude for such recognition.

She was described as a "woman of many talents" in the newspaper article. Her background was cited from her birth

in October of 1884 to her life in 1979 at her home on north Main in Lenox.

She was proud of the fact that she maintained her own home, and continued to enjoy outings and visits with friends and

family.

Amy was born on a farm in the Mercer Center neighborhood. Her parents were Amose and Roseana Ambrose. Along

with her brothers, Jesse and William, and her sister, Eva, Amy attended country schools near Lenox.

When she was eleven years old, Amy served the Mercer Center Church where she and her family were members, as

organist.

Her first occupation was teaching. She began her career at the Beach school, and later taught for four years in the first

school established south of Lenox.  She also taught for two years at the Fonda, Iowa school, following her attendance at

college in Cedar Falls. During her time of teaching, Amy studied and practiced music on the piano and violin, and gave

lessons for several years.

In 1918 she passed a Civil Service examination, and moved to Washington, D.C. to work in the Department of the Treasury.

While there, she took night courses at George Washington University. Essays written by Amy during this time attracted

the Mention of her instructor, and some of her columns were sold to a publisher.

She requested a leave of absence from her Treasury job when she discovered her parents were in failing health and she

remained in Lenox. Dr. William Cash, a Lenox physician asked Amy to become his bride and they were married in 1925.

She served as her husband's assistant attending medical meetings, lectures and instructions.

At that time, assistants could earn licenses or permits to work in the eleven county district under the direction of a doctor.

There were no records of the many babies delivered locally by Dr. and Mrs. Cash, but Amy was at the doctor's side for a

total of twenty-nine years, administering anesthetic for the maternity cases.

Dr. Cash died in April of 1954. Amy continued to care for herself, and she spent much her time writing the poetry that

had sustained her much of her life.

On her ninetieth birthday, her stepsons and their families gathered at a farm near Leon that had been owned by the

family since pioneer days. She recited a poem she had written especially for the occasion. Amy selected as her favorite

poem one which had been published in an issue of Lyrical Iowa. The poem reflects Amy's determination to seek knowledge

and to live life to its fullest degree.

Earthbound

Beneath starlit sky I stand alone,

And seek to understand what it could teach

My earthbound soul, that cannot comprehend,

Its vastness, nor the truth beyond my reach.

I only know that this celestial span,

Is proof of a might, ruling power.

With awe-inspiring depth I cannot know.

Yet comforts me in trouble' s trying hour.

Amy Ambrose Cash leaves many friends and relatives to mourn her passing. She has touched many lives in this area

with her courage and talents. In addition to her husband, Dr. William Cash, she was preceded in death by her parents,

two brothers, William and Jesse, and her sister, Mrs. Eva Riley.

She is survived by three stepsons, John Donald Cash of Algona, Iowa, Dr. Paul Cash of Des Moines, and Keith Cash of

Albia, Iowa.

Other survivors include three grandchildren, sixteen great grandchildren, a sister-in-law, Lizzie Ambrose of Lenox, four

nephews, Reldon, Karl and Jasper Ambrose, all of Lenox, and Burton Ambrose of Creston. Two nieces, Lucille Davis of
