General Notes: Husband - Isaac Ash
He remained at home until he arrived at the age of twenty years. When he left his parental roof he engaged in teaching school. He afterward attended high school until he became a thorough English scholar, and then entered the Butler Academy, remaining a student of that institution for two years and upwards. Whilst in this Academy, he took a complete course in mathematics and made rapid progress in Latin. In 1857, he entered the office of Archibald Blakely, Esq., of Butler, Pennsylvania, for the purpose of reading law.
In 1859, he was admitted to the bar, having acquitted himself in a creditable manner in his examination. He was complimented highly for his aptness in answering the most complicated questions on elementary law. He subsequently entered into partnership with Col. John Thompson, of Butler, Pennsylvania, which continued for four years, enjoying a large and lucrative practice. In the fall of 1864, he came to Oil City on professional business, and while there other business was entrusted to him, and kept rapidly increasing, that he finally concluded to locate there permanently, and dissolved the partnership with Mr. Thompson. He then formed a partnership with H. C. Graham, in Oil City, under the firm name of Ash & Graham, which existed until 1867. In 1871, he again went into partnership with David Sterrett, bearing the firm name of Ash & Sterrett, which continued until June 1877, when the latter retired, and removed to Smethport, McKean County, where he resumed the practice of law. [HVC 1879, 533]
He attended the common schools and to the duties of the farm until the age of nineteen years, when he entered a select school at Prospect, teaching subsequently five terms to secure the means to pay his expense through a two years' course at the Butler Academy. He began reading law in 1856 with Archibald Blakely of Butler, and was admitted to the Butler county bar in 1858. After one year's practice he formed a partnership with John M. Thompson, and after four years' experience he withdrew from the firm of Thompson & Ash. In 1864 he removed to Oil City, and was admitted to Venango county bar November 28th of that year. The partnership of Ash & Carey was formed in 1884. He was the first attorney for Oil City, and in 1873, 1884, and to 1889, filled the same position. In 1889 he was appointed by Governor James A. Beaver as one of the trustees of the insane hospital at Warren.
He and his wife were members of the Episcopal church of Oil City.
He acquired an academic education and read law in the office of Col. Thompson. He was admitted to the bar January 5, 1859, and practiced for some time in Butler. He afterward located in Oil City, Venango County. He never sought political position, preferring to be a lawyer, pure and simple.
