Mr. Ashby was one of our Old Settlers, always interested in public matters, and very highly respected for his many excellent traits of(unreadable). His death was caused by a paralytic stroke, it being the second one he had.

Mr. Ashby was born in Virginia, in the year 1810, and after wards lived in Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin and finally in Iowa, to which state he came in 1848. He first settled on a farm, about eight miles from Elkader, and after a few years moved on to the Hop Farm. He made a trip to Yankton, but not being pleased with that country returned to his old home. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. McCoy of this place and Mrs. ___ley, McGregor.

In connection with this notice, we are requested by the daughters to extend thanks to friends and neighbors for the kindness shown them during their father’s illness.
