The Mystery of Ambrose Small

Master Weirdist Charles Fort once made a jest involving two mysterious vanishings: "Was somebody collecting Ambroses?"

One of the Ambroses involved was the famous Ambrose Bierce.

The other was much less-known: Ambrose Small.

One would think that after so many years, all had been said about Small's disappearance. But I can't find any reference to this further extension of the case as seen below.

Hmm. I've never heard of this case. I lived in Rosedale for years and walked all through the ravine, you could easily hide a body or five in it. Wonder what happened to the poor bugger?

Many moons ago it was easier for unscrupulous relatives to get rid of a well to do relative in order to claim their assets.
