"FRANK AMBROSE IS DEAD
Well known Harpist of Norfolk found in his room
Had played Twenty Years
One of the best Known Harpists in the Country, Having Been Over America from Coast to Coast, Recco Ambruso Dies Alone as He Lived.
Rocco Anbruso, known all over this country and especially through the northwest as Frank Ambrose, a harpist who has played from Chicago to the Black Hills and from Canada to Mexico during the past twenty years, died in Norfolk Saturday night from consumption. He was found dead in his room at 9 o'clock, when his friends went to see what could be done for his comfort.
His brother, Egidio Ambruso, 241 West Taylor street, Chicago, was notified and arrived in Norfolk today at noon to take the remains back with him for burial. The body of the well known harpist will be laid to rest in Chicago beside the grave of his first wife.
Frank Ambrose was forty-seven years old. He was of slight physical proportions, neat in attire, proud and extremely popular among his associates. He was an Eagle in good standing, being a charter member of the Norfolk aerie.
For a score of years this harpist, with his artistic fingers, has made music for the merry throngs of northern Nebraska and the Black Hills. His home during all that time has been Norfolk. He would take long trips out through the country, but he always came back to this city.
For a year he had been ailing and growing weaker. He was ill all of Saturday evening and had been visited by his physician frequently.
He was given a glass of water at 8 o'clock. At 9, when his friends called to make him more comfortable in his illness, his sleeping form lay still in death.
As he had lived for several years, quite alone, so did Frank Ambrose die. His harp still stands in his room. It is a harp well known.
His mother died in Italy about a month ago.
Eagles in Norfolk took charge of the remains.
