Mrs. W. D. Ashley Buried Saturday
Mrs. W. D. Ashley, who passed away last Wednesday forenoon and who was a resident of Ireton for many years, was taken to her last resting place Saturday afternoon. Short funeral services were held in the home of the deceased and at the Methodist church a 2:30, with Rev. I. C. McNulty officiating. The pall bearers were R. J. Smith, E. A. Lindenman, Wm. Taylor, Albert Satterlee, Henry Vlotho and J. A. Lindenman. Mrs. Fern Hopper and her sister, Miss Madge Satterlee, sang several favorite hymns, with Mrs. Arthur Bartlett at the piano.

Mrs. Ashley had not been well for some time but those about her noticed quite an improvement and she was able to be up and about again until Sunday when she suddenly took a turn for the worse. Wednesday morning an ambulance was at her home expecting to have her moved to a hospital but her condition was such that she could not be moved and she passed away shortly after. She was mother and wife who enjoyed to be about her home and was seldom seen about town. Quiet and considerate, with patience and fortitude she bore her ills without complaining.
