Charles Lawson Ashby, son of John Seely and Catherine Bancroft Ashby was born in Carroll County Illinois, June, 22 1862. The Ashby family came to the United States and settled in Carroll county in 1840, engaging in farming and stock raising.
The deceased attended the common schools and later a business college at Fulton Ill. He was a jeweler by trade but his health required an outdoor life so he returned to farming and stock raising. He moved to a farm near Clay center and later to a farm southeast of Fairmont. During the drought of "90's he returned to Illinois and then drove overland from Illinois to California and back over a period of two years. He remembered and could recount in his later years, many of the vents and the interesting places visited. He remained in Illinois until 1911 when he moved to South Dakota where he continued his farming and stock raising until 1928, when he moved to a ram near Fairmont. He married in 1890 to Effie Thompson at Mt. Carroll Ill . one son, Dr. A. A. Ashby who with two grandson, Dr Charles F and Sherman F., survive him.
The deceased had enjoyed good health and continued his farming until about three years ago, when failing eyesight necessitated retirement. Of a large family of brothers and sister, only one sister, Mrs. Fred D. Stone of Evanston Ill survives him.
He died Oct 3, 1952. Interment was beside his parents , his brothers and sisters in Mt Carroll Illinois.
