LOUIS ASH
Not everyone puts his shoulder to the wheel with the same confidence and enthusiasm as does Louis Ash; yet if more ranchers viewed their work with the same broad attitude of mind, success would oftener attend the labors of those to whom is committed the responsibility of getting the earth to yield its utmost for the benefit of the sons of men. Louis Ash is a native son, born on the old Ash ranch in Colusa County, May 20, 1886, a son of the late Captain William Ash, who is represented elsewhere in this volume. Louis Ash was educated in the public schools of Colusa County and at Heald's Business College in San Francisco, after which he returned to the home ranch and, with his father and brothers, operated it in partnership. After his father's death he continued on the old home ranch of two thousand acres as superintendent until 1911, when he leased the ranch. Here he is engaged in raising grain on an extensive scale. Besides this branch of agriculture, he devotes considerable time to the raising of a good grade of hogs. In all his ranching operations, Mr. Ash makes use of the most modern machinery and methods, using a seventy-five horsepower Best tractor for "plowing and putting in his grain, to which he plants between seven hundred and twelve hundred acres annually, and a Holt combined harvester for the harvesting of the crop. With his up-to-date machinery he not only does his own work, but reaps and threshes some thousand acres for his neighbors, which work adds to his annual income. The grain from his ranch is hauled to the Berlin warehouse, two miles distant, which makes a very convenient shipping point. Louis Ash was united in marriage in San Francisco, with Miss Marguerite B. Myers, born in Colusa County, a daughter of Jacob E. Myers. He is a pioneer farmer and stockman of the county, and has been identified with its growth and development for many years. Mrs. Ash received her education at St. Gertrude's Academy at Rio Vista. Of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Ash two children have been born, Marie Louise and Marguerite Lois.
Mr. Ash is a member and past Vice-Grand of Spring Valley Lodge, No. 316, I. 0. 0. F., at Arbuckle, and is Past Chief Patriarch of the Encampment ; and he is also a member of Marysville Lodge, No. 783, B. P. 0. Elks. In politics he is a Republican, and has been an active member of the County Central Committee. Since becoming of age, in 1907, Mr. Ash has been a director in the William Ash Company, a family corporation.
