Ames. At Brooklyn, New York, Monday the 7th, Mr. George Christian Ames of this city, aged 65 years.

--The Evening Star, Feb. 9, 1870

We notice among the funeral notices the death of an old citizen of Washington, who had been long and favorably known in this community -- Mr. George C. Ames. Mr. Ames was a native of Accomac county, Va. and came to Washington 25 years ago. He closed a life of usefulness and integrity at the rectory of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn after a year of great suffering by painful disease. He was the father of the Rev. Alfred Ames, the late beloved pastor of Wesley Chapel and father-in-law to Rev. Dr. Hall, late of the Church of Epiphany.
His remains will be taken from the latter church to the Congressional Cemetery tomorrow.
