Julia passed away 30 Sep 1912. She was buried 2 Oct 1912 at the Lutheran Cemetery, Decorah, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA. She was listed as Julia Larsdtr Davidson Ambli. She was the daughter of Lars Davidson Molster and Martha Svensdtr Bo. ^[8] She was buried at Decorah Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery. She was 69 when she passed away. ^[10]

However, her death certificate lists her as Julian Ambli, born 4 Jan 1843 in Norway. Her father was Torgeir Davidson, and her mother unknown, both born in Norway. She passed away 30 Sep 1912 at the age of 69, and was buried 2 Oct 1912 in Decorah, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA. The cause of death was angina pectoris to aortic stenosis and she had been treated for this for about a year before her death. She was buried at Decorah Cemetery. ^[11]

['Note: Julia's father is not Torgeir, and she is listed as Larsdotter in Find A Grave, with the same death and burial dates as the death certificate and it was not uncommon for the year of birth to be off slightly as people in Norway didn't keep track of dates and years like in America.]
