but a few days precediug her death.
A short time before she died her mind
became perfectly clear. She called one
of her children to her bedside telling
her she would soon be gone und want
ed her loved ones to meet her in hea
ven, and she soon passed away, fully
realizing that she was entering into
that rest from whence no traveler ever
returns. Mrs. Ashley's maiden name

in Corner Township, and was sn odd
years of age. In lier young maiden
