In his early life Amos Ebert was a school teacher. He afterwards studied medicine, but did not complete his medical course, although he continued his studies in the sciences. He was a member of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. His interest in chemistry led him to engage in the manufacture of chemicals, but on learning of the great amount of dishonesty in that business, he discontinued his work along that line.
In 1865 Mr. Ebert purchased a farm at Ashland, N. J., where he resided until hisdeath. He took an active interest in organizations for the welfare of the community, but always refused to accept political offices of any kind. At the time.of his death he had been a deacon in the Haddonfield, N. J., Baptist Church for thirty years, and his pastor said of him:
“His intellectual life was of more than ordinary depth and power.”
