General Notes (Husband)

Randolph Times newspaper, 11 Oct 1917, p. 5:
"J. H. Ashby, aged 76, one of Magnet's oldest citizens, was buried there last Sunday. "Dad" Ashby, as he was known to Magnet citizens, was one of the pioneers of the town and owned several buildings there. He was quite a character and known over Cedar county to a considerable extent. Some years ago while driving his auto he had a wreck in which his wife lost her life and he was injured. He again married later."
