There is record of a W.E. Ashley buried 1922 in Canon City, Colo. However no stone remains in cemetery. In 1900 they four were on the cencus, in 1910 Clara was listed as a widow. Research located Dr. Ashley living at the poor house county hospital for morphine addiction.
She later married a Mr. Linholm and was tracked to be living in Victor, Colo.
However, she is buried under Ashley so perhaps they divorced. It is noted by Hankins family that Clara wanted nothing to do with her brothers after death of husband, but which husband?
