Elder Loami Ashley has gone to rest. After a short illness of four days he closed his career on earth at his residence in Montgomery County, Ohio.
Elder Ashley was born in the state of Vermont, August 9, 1784 and departed this life September 25, 1855, aged 71 years, one month and 16 days.
He emigrated to Ohio in the year 1817 and two years afterwards he became a happy convert to the Christian religion, and united with the Christian Church at Liberty, Montgomery County, Ohio under the care of Elder N. Worley and remained a worthy and respectable member of that body until his death.
Being personally acquainted with him for many years I can say that he possessed a character of uprightness, honesty, truthfulness and peace. He was persevering and faithful in the cause of Christ and firm in his belief in the gospel. He served the church in the office of deacon. For the last twelve years of his life he was a worthy, respected and beloved minister of the gospel of Christ.
He was a member of the Tippecanoe Christian conference in the state of Indiana when his voice was heard declaring the truths of god's word, giving saint and sinner, their portion in due season.
During Elder Ashley's sickness he enjoyed his right mind, spoke of death with calmness, without any dread or fear. He gave orders how he wished his earthly things disposed of and then gave directions how he wished his funeral conducted.
