CIVIL WAR
COMPANY F, FOURTH IOWA CAVALRY.
RICHARD ASHWORTH Enlisted November 11, 1861, and had been out with his company on detached service, scouting through Missouri nearly a year, when the company joined Curtis's army at Batesville, Arkansas, and proceeded to Helena. Ashworth was sick on the march to Helena; from Helena he was sent home on sick leave, where he remained until the expiration of his furlough — sixty days — when he reported at Keokuk, greatly improved in health, but not yet well enough to endure soldiering. At Helena, on his arrival, the physicians made out his papers preliminary to a discharge, and he was sent to hospital at St. Louis; but before he received his discharge from the army, he died, July 19, 1805. Born in Rochdale, Lancashire, England, Aug. 16, 1838; came with his father's family to America, in 1848; remained in New England until 1851, when he came with his parents to Walnut Township, Polk County, Iowa, where his father, Mr. Richard Ashworth, now resides, a respected citizen. Ashworth was a brave soldier, and a worthy, honorable man.
