Asa Thomas died suddenly on Friday at his home south of town, at the age of 77 years. he was one of Milford's early settlers and a mason. He was buried at the Maple Grove cemetery on Sunday by that order.
Asa Thomas, farmer, Milford, was the fourth son and seventh child of Asa Thomas, the pioneer settler in this township. He was born in Adams county, OH, Aug. 14, 1824. With his brothers, his boyhood days were passed amid the privations and alarms incident to frontier life. While his brothers became heads of families, Asa seemed to be designated as the one to remain at home and care for the aged father. Consequently he married much later in life than his brothers. He was married July 14, 1867, to Mary Jane Bragg, and continues to reside quietly among scenes made memorable by the incidents of former years. Mr. Thomas is a republican, and has always manifested a strong interest in local affairs.
