Notes

Ambrose Mateer was a schoolteacher for eight years before he went into the mercantile business in Rosston, Pennsylvania. About 1906 he moved to Ford City, Pennsylvania, where he was a merchant selling drygoods and groceries.

When Ambrose M. Mateer of Ford City Boro died intestate on 25 June 1931, his sons John A. and Edward Mateer, 'only children and next of kin', declined administration on his estate and requested that the Armstrong County Trust Company be appointed to take charge. Assets of the estate included much rental property in Ford City, Kittanning and Manorville; many long, complicated and detailed accounts preceeded a final reckoning on 18 November 1943 which showed no balance left for distribution. An affidavit of 6 July 1931 listed heirs as John A. Mateer and Dr. Edward A. Mateer, both of Ford City, along with Mary Louise Balbough, minor granddaughter; insurance beneficiary was noted as Marion N. Balbach.
