Joseph A. Ambrosy
Tucson
Arizona, The Youngest State, 1913

Joseph A. Ambrosy, located in Tucson in 1912 and there he has 
rapidly won recognition as a skilled veterinary surgeon, 
building up a large practice.  He is a specialist on diseases 
of the eye of all kinds of domestic animals and is a very 
skillful surgeon.  He is a native of southern Austria, his 
birth occurring on the 14th of May, 1870.  Upon completing 
his preliminary education he learned the horseshoeing trade 
which is one of the requirements for admission to the Royal 
Veterinary College in Vienna.  He as graduated from that 
institution in 1889.  In 1888 he entered the Austrian where 
he served for five years, being discharged with the rank of 
captain.

It was in 1893 that Dr. Ambrosy came to the United States, 
having decided that the new world afforded better opportunities 
for a successful career than were to be found in the most 
congested sections of Europe.  He first located at Bridgeport, 
Connecticut where he engaged in horseshoeing and also 
practiced veterinary surgery.  from there he went to Morton 
County North Dakota, where he established a shop which he 
conducted for three years.  He next went to North Yakima, 
Washington and after a brief residence there removed to San 
Francisco California where he attended the Veterinary College 
from which he subsequently graduated.  During that time he was 
residing in Larkspur, Marin County, that state where he also 
established a shop and engaged in practice there and in San 
Francisco.  In 1912 the college advised him to locate in 
Tucson as there was an excellent opening there for a capable 
man in the profession.  This he did and has had no occasion 
to regret it.   He is veterinary for the Tucson Farms Company 
and the Autrey and Peterson Dairy and is also live stock 
inspection.  In addition to his duties in this connection 
he is rapidly building up a large private practice.

Dr. Ambrosy was married in Vienna Austria in 1893 to Miss 
Marie Appel.
