Elizabeth Lindimore. wife of Geo.

George w. Ashton died in 1913,
and both are buried in Highland
cemetery, New Cambria.
And now we want to recall some
of the wonderful letters received
from Mrs. Ashton, many of which
became a part Of the Meigs sec
ton in the Democrat. No doubt
Mrs. Delaney and Mrs. Gallon would
have been as interesting, had we
got them started-but that is the
way much Of our early history has
been lost. In the summer OF 1904,
we visited a. the Ashton home.
They then lived on farm on what
we believe they called the bluff. :
They had a fruit farm, also raised
poultry. We remember we talked
until nearly midnight-they telling
us of their experience, here ana
asking us of those they knew as
neighbors. relatives, and friends.
After Mrs Donmyer has read
through this account, and others OF
the family who are in western
homes it may bring back mem
ories-if so, don't be afraid to seEd
them in. We know Mandy and the
rest here won't hesitate. We find
the Ashtons were parents OF the
following children: Eva NJ, wife OF
Grant Dalrymple, whose address
is BENNINGTON, Kan; Calvin de-
ceased, June 6, 1880, buried in
Highland cemetery. his widow
Pearl Metz Ashton. lives at Hutch-
ison. Kan; p. =, Ashton, slnfle,
New Cambria; Ora, deceased, Jan
II, 1917, buried at Gypsum Hill,
Salina; Warren, single Sallna,
Kan; Laura, who died Oct. g.,
1887, is buried in Highland ceme-
terry. She was the third child in
the VIM Lindimore family. George
w. Gallon, her husband, died Aug.
%, 1895, and was buried in High
land cemetery.
The Ashtons, Delaneys and Cal
ions were all born in Bristol. and
lived here until after their mar
riage. You probably have noticed
that all these girls married George
VS." Of their children, William;
married Rena Ball, and they live IN
Salina, Kan; Lizzie, deceased, june
II, buried at Hunter, Kansas; her
husband, VIM. Blundon, is burlea
in Washington; Millie, deceased
Feb. 5, 1918, is buried at Hunter
Kan; her husband, Edward Blum
don, lives at Hunter, Kan. jennie
married Isaac Bradford, and they
live in Salina, Kan. Sabastln t.,
and his wife, Violet Thompson, live
at Hunter, Kan. George w. and his
wife .veda Vidrick. son, live az
New Cambria, Kan Clarence and
his wife Edythe, live at Bancroft,
Kan. Alzada and her husband, Al
Cleopfil live at Little Rock Ark
Elma. married Frank Francis, WNh
is deceased; she lives at Hunter,
Kan, where her husband is buried.
Andrew, fourth child of VIM. Lin
dimOre, died when small child,
and is buried beside his father III
Meigs cemetery, which many of our
western friends still call old BrlS-
tol. Mrs Donmyer states he has no
monument which is true, and ADDS
another to the list we have given
in the "Story the Tombstones Tell
We thought we would tell you how
many that makes, but the humbeT
has gotten away Perhaps we Will
learn of more before we finish this
story.
Mrs Donmyer goes on to say that
Andrew died in the scourge of scar
let fever and black tongue dlph-
iberia, that took the lives OF so
many children in Bristol in the
early CO.'S or late SOS.
Josephine Of Salina Kan, the
fifth child, married Louis Alley who
is buried in Gypsum Hill cemetery.
Salina, Kan. Their children, Car
los Alley and his wife Ida JunGei
live at New Cambria, Kan, r. F.
D.; Mae lives in Salina, where her
husband, Chas. Wells. is buried in
Gypsum Hill cemetery. Lawrence
and his wife, Winnifred Jones, live
at. Salina.
BY reference to the Bristol GEM
etery story, we find the Roy chill
dren buried there. died in March
1860. We presume the Lindimore
child the same time as did the Shus-
ter children who are buried in the
Meigs cemetery. For Mrs. DON
myers benefit we will get the date
Of their deaths and if it was not
during this scourge we. will tell you.
This is only part of the Offering
of Mrs Donmyer. We want to
change from dates and relate some
things we can scribble without re-
ferring to copy, but we want to tell
you that the linotype operator
would be tickled if all his copy was
written as legibly as that we have
been copying.
The elder Lindimore died when
Uncle Perley was small lad, and
the boys all went to work; hard
work, and they were master hands
