ASHBY, Thomas Wilson

ELK GARDEN - That patient sufferer, Thomas Wilson Ashby, closed his eyes to the scenes of earth Nov. 6, 1913, aged 65 years, 4 months and 24 days. With the news of his death came a sigh of relief to know that his sufferings were over, but with it also came the keen sense of the loss of a good man to the community. He leaves a wife who was Miss Hannah Dixon, sister of Mr. Wm. T. Dixon, but no children. Mr. Ashby was a man of convictions and always took an active part in politics, being a Republican. He was pleasant in his manners and was a genial whole souled man. In the early days of Elk Garden, he was engaged in the business of butchering. Later, he and sheriff J. Frank Dixon formed a partnership in farming and stock raising. They were successful in this as they were in other business transactions. Mr. Ashby was born in Crellin, near Oakland, Md. He is the first of seven adult brothers to pass away. He is also survived by three sisters. "Uncle Tom," as he was familiarly known, will be missed. He died a triumphant death, having made peace with his maker. The funeral services took place on Sunday. Rev. John A. Shockey, pastor of the deceased, preached a touching and comforting sermon. A choir sang the hymns that were so much loved by the departed. They were "Home of the Soul," "Sometime We'll Understand," and "Nearer My God, to Thee." The funeral services were held at his late home, the old Dixon place, and the body was interred in the family burying ground. Although the day was cold and stormy there was quite a number at the funeral.

ASHBY, Thomas Wilson

IN MEMORY OF THOMAS W. ASHBY
On Wednesday morning, November 6th, 1913, Thomas W. Ashby of Elk Garden, passed from time to eternity. At the old Dixon homestead, where four years ago next January, J. Frank Dixon had passed away, and where "Tom", as he was familiarly called, had years ago found his bride, a happy home, and where he had lived all his married life, here death met him, but found him ready, watching, waiting. We have known "Tom," personally and intimately for years. We had been with him on various occasions, so we could learn him well. We knew that his heart always beat in sympathy and response to the cry of need. We knew that on sundry occasions a sack was filled with substantials and sent to the home of some poor needy family. His hand was ever open, his heart ever willing to help a worthy cause. When the movement to establish a home for the homeless children was inaugurated last fall, the name of T. W. Ashby and wife was pledged for one hundred dollars. On Sunday after the funeral sermon by Rev. J. H. Shockey, the friends and relatives of the deceased passed the beautiful casket in which he lay, his face lit with an expression of blessed peace and rest. After which his four brothers, Chas. W. Ashby of Deer Park, Md., Ralph T. and J. Frank Ashby of Crellin, Md., and Wm. C. Ashby of Corinth, W. Va. and his two nephews, Jesse J. and Stanley Ashby of Crellin, tenderly bore him to the home cemetery. Here undertakers Rollman & Son placed the casket in a steel vault and all that was mortal of Thomas W. Ashby was tenderly laid to rest. Mr. Ashby had on the 8th day of last June reached the 65th year of his life, and he leaves a widow, Hannah S. Ashby, to mourn him, and for whom he will longingly and lovingly wait on the banks of the Elysian shore.

ASHENFELTER, (infant) Marion Elizabeth

Marion Elizabeth, infant daughter of John D. and Ella Z. Ashenfelter, died April 25, 1897, aged 3 months and 24 days. Dear little Marion who came in her sweetness and purity to gladden the hearts of her parents, brothers and sisters for such a little while, has now been safely gathered in the arms of the Dear Father and although our hearts are now torn and bleeding, we feel that--
This little bud on earth so fair
Has gone to Heaven to blossom there.
Safely, sadly gathered in,
Far from sorrow, far from sin;
God has saved from weary strife,
In its dawn, this fresh young life.
Now it waits for us above,
Resting in the Savior's love,
Jesus, grant that we may meet
The adoring at Thy feet.
