he went to San Francisco and into the
wholesale grocery business with his five
brothers. Col. Stanford, having anassed
a small fortune, went in 1872 to London
TO promote Western mines and, according
to a member Of his family, made 81 100000
In less than two years.
He remained in London ten years and
then came to New York. Here. 1t is said.
he lost his money in speculation in Wall
Street.
When Senator Stanford died in 1893
he left Asa 500 900. and 500 600 to each Of
the latter's three children, only one OF
whom, J. B. Stanford, is alive. He is San
Francisco merchant. Asa P. Stanford was
married twice. His first wife was Miss Mary
