General Notes: Husband - Richard Ashman

---

He lived at Three Springs, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, on one of the farms which had been owned by his grandfather, and was a merchant.

He was a boy at the time of his father's bankruptcy. He was taken by an uncle, John McGuirk, of Phillipsburg, Pennsylvania, with whom he resided until he was twenty years old. He enjoyed no educational advantages, having attended school just one day. In his uncle's store he learned reading, writing and arithmetic. After his marriage he went to Three Springs, Huntingdon County, and bought part of the original Ashman estate. He also purchased Thomas Orbison's store, and carried on mercantile business for thirty-one years. He then sold out to E. G. Heck, and turned his attention to farming and milling, which occupied him for the remainder of his life. He shipped the first eggs that were sent from the Mount Union Station. He was for many years postmaster at Three Springs. He did not enlist during the Civil War on account of ill health; but he rendered valuable aid to the wives and families of Federal soldiers.
