 In the cemetery at Ashley Falls stands the large memorial known as ths Gen eral Ashley monument and in the center of the village is a triangular peice of land surrounded ty highways and shaded by stately elm trees. A descendant of General Ashley. who is slso relative of John Griffith. of Ashley Falls, favors the removal Of the monument from the cemetery to the aforesaid triangular piece of land and volunteers to pay the expense of it's removal. Inasmuch as none of the people whose memory it per petuates are buried in Ashley Falls, there is no objection to it's removal. It con. sists of two square bases, die and cap and weights about 15 tons. There are four inscriptions on the square die as follows:
 "In memory of Col. John Ashley. Born at Westfield, Mass, Dec. 9, 1709 He with others made division of the lower township of Sheffield in 1725 and was one of the first settlers in 1733.
