Mrs. Ashmore Died Monday. Had Attained the Age of Almost 75 Years Before Overtaken By Death. Mrs. Mary Ashmore, though she has put up a determined effort to get well for several weeks, passed into the great beyond last Monday.
Mary Farris was born at Arena, Wisconsin, October 21, 1851, and died at her home in Correctionville, Iowa, on March 8, 1926, at the age of 74 years, 4 months and 17 days. She was united in marriage with W.J. Ashmore October 3, 1869, and went with him to Kansas where they took up a homestead upon which they lived six years.
In 1875 they moved to Shelby County, Iowa, where they remained three years and then to Ida County where they also spent three years, coming on to Woodbury County in 1881, where they lived on the Ashmore farm in Rock Creek township until Mr. Ashmore's death in 1914.
Mrs. Ashmore then came to Correctionville which was her home until the time of her death, following an illness of about six weeks.
Mrs. Ashmore was the mother of nine children, and all of them survive her except one son, E.E. Ashmore, who died in 1920. They are Mrs. C.E. Fitch and Mrs. A.T. Bentley of Correctionville, Mrs. Albert Croxell of Lawton, A.J. Ashmore of Hot Springs, South Dakota, Mrs. H.E. Wright of Correctionville and G.E. Ashmore of Bronson. There are twenty-seven grandchildren and eight great grandchildren surviving and also one brother, William Farris of Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin, and a sister, Mrs. Ida Vance of Moreno Valley, Kansas.
Mrs. Ashmore had a well-grounded faith in the tenants of the Christian life, having united with the church of her choice as a young girl. She had been a member of the United Evangelical church for thirty-two years preceding her death. She was primarily a home maker, always devoted to the best interests of those around her and always thoughtful of others even in the midst of her suffering. She repeatedly expressed her willingness and readiness to meet her maker. When unable to drink she whispered her intention of being soon at the Crystal fountain, and passed away with the name of Jesus on her lips, an example to the world of how a Christian can die.
Funeral services were held at the M.E. Church in Correctionville Wednesday afternoon in charge of Rev. Hulse and interment was made in the cemetery here.
