Indianola-An Old Resident Gone-On Monday H.M. Ashmore died at his residence in Colorado, near Denver, aged 59 years. Perhaps no resident of Red Willow County was better or more favorably known in this part of the state than was Judge Ashmore, until four years ago. He was a resident of this state for sixteen years, and lived during that time in the southwestern portion, and most of the time in Indianola. He was a soldier in the war of the rebellion, during which time his health was so badly undermined by exposure, he had always been a sufferer since, and for years he had been unable to perform any heavy manual labor, but his happy disposition made him many friends. He was elected county judge of this county in 1882 and served two terms. He was honored and respected by all, and but for his disability would undoubtedly been a man of much prominence in state and financial affairs in this part of the state, as he had marked ability in both these lines. His remains were brought to Indianola Wednesday morning, accompanied by his wife, daughter, and many friends and interred in the cemetery here, where several of his children have preceded him. The many friends of both he and his estimable wife were present to show their last sad respects to him whom they had often greeted so friendly while he lived, and offer their sympathy to those to whom he was most dear and who will feel his loss most severely. He leaves a widow and five children, nearly all grown. Judge Ashmore will long be remembered here, where he was well known, and his sorrowing family have the sincere sympathy of many friends all over the west. Friday 1 February 1895
