General Notes: Husband - Erwin J. Ashe

---

He attended public school in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and when still a lad began earning his own living by working in the lumber camps and coal mines. He continued in these lines until twenty-two years old, when he began farming and dealing in stock. These kindred callings absorbed his time for five years, when he went on the road as a traveling salesman. After seven years' work in this capacity he bought the "Eagle Hotel" at Kittanning and operated it for two years. In 1911 he opened a wholesale liquor house. In 1905 he was the Republican candidate for county treasurer, and was elected by a large majority for a term of three years. In 1908 and 1909 he served as chairman of the Republican county central committee and was always active in politics. He was well known in the local fraternal bodies, belonging to the B. P. O. Elks, Fraternal Order of Eagles and Loyal Order of Moose.
