Here's another marker from Green Lawn Cemetery in Columbus.
Emil Ambos is located in section 50. In the same section, about a 100 feet away is author James Thurber.
When Ambos died in 1898, he had set aside $5,000 for the marker based on a photograph. His will also set aside a bank account with $1,000 in it. Once the the interest reached $200, the interest was to be used for a fish fry dinner. Then once the interest hit $200 again, another fish fry dinner was to be held and the $1,000 be donated to the Franklin County Children's home. First dinner was held in 1905, while the second was held in 1908.
His will also stated that his 120 acre farm about 10 miles south of Columbus be donated to the city and turned into Ambos Park. The city of Columbus weren't sure whether to accept the property since it was south of the city and hard for workers to maintain the property. Columbus city council voted to not accept the property. About a week later, the city council were reconsidering the offer and consulted a Medium. The Medium apparently got in "touch" with Ambos and Ambos said he didn't want the city to have the property and the city was run by "Short Skates".
