Virginian-Pilot  May 9, 1945
Dr. Ambler Albert Marsteller, widely known Virginia Beach dentist, Republican 
and sports enthusiast, who at one time numbered President Taft among his regular 
patients, died yesterday at 10:55 a.m., in a Norfolk hospital of a cerebral 
hemorrhage suffered Sunday in an automobile accident.
With other members of his family, he was a passenger in an automobile driven by 
his grandson, W. Russell Hatchett, Jr., of Virginia Beach, when the machine ran 
on a soft shoulder and turned over approximately four miles west of Portsmouth. 
No other occupant of the car was injured and it was presumed that Dr. 
Marsteller’s attack resulted from shock rather than from any blow received in 
the mishap. He remained unconscious until his death.
A native of Warrenton, he was the son of the late Yucatan Arrell and Mrs. Lucy 
Ellen Menefee Marsteller and a grandson of Col. Phillip Marsteller, who served 
on George Washington’s staff. He received his education at the St. Aloysius 
School for Boys and Gonzaga College, Washington, D.C., his doctorate in 
dentistry from National University, Washington, and did postgraduate work at 
Atlanta Dental College and New York University.
Dr. Marsteller began the practice of dentistry in Washington, where President 
Taft was among his patients and moved to Norfolk in 1914, then on to Virginia 
Beach. He maintained dental offices in the National Bank of Commerce Building at 
the beach.
An active Republican, he was a candidate for the State Senate on the GOP ticket 
while a resident of Norfolk and lost by only a few votes. He counted President 
Harding among his personal friends. Mrs. Marsteller, who died two years ago, was 
postmistress at Virginia Beach for eight years preceding 1932.
Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Walter E. Partridge, of Norfolk, and Mrs. W. 
Russell Hatchett, of Virginia Beach; one sister, Mrs. Michael D. Sohon, of 
Hasbrouck Heights, N.J.; and six grandchildren.	
Funeral services will be conducted Friday at 10 a.m. in the Star of the Sea 
Catholic Church, Virginia Beach, and interment will be in St. Mary’s Cemetery. 
Rosary services will be held tonight at 8 o’clock at the H. D. Oliver Funeral 
Apartments.
He resided at 207 Twentieth Street, Virginia Beach.
