      Death of Reader Ashcom.

      On Monday evening of last week, the 10th instant, a telegraphic dispatch was received by friends in this town from Casey, Guthrie county, Iowa, announcing the death at that place, that afternoon, of Martin Reeder Ashcom, of this place. Mr. Ashcom left Everett some six weeks ago, with his wife and child, to pay a visit to friends in the west. Some time before the announcement of his death, Information was received that he was ill; but it was not supposed that he was dangerously sick until the sad news of his death was received on Monday evening. His body was received here by Express on Friday morning, and was buried from the residence of his uncle, Jacob Barndollar. The remains were taken to the M. E. Church, of which denomination the deceased was an exemplary member, where appropriate services were held, including a very impressive exhortation by the pastor, Rev. Curns. The esteem In which the deceased was held in this community was shown by the large congregation that assembled in the church to participate in these services. At the conclusion of the services, the casket was opened, and the entire assembly filed past to take a last look at the face of the dead. Thence the remains were born to the Everett Cemetery, escorted by the members of Everett Lodge No. 600, I. O. of O. F., of which organization he was also a member, and a large number of mourning relatives and sympathizing friends. The disease of which he died was typhoid fever.

      The deceased was the sixth child of Benjamin R. and Elizabeth Aschom (sic.), , was born near this place, and resided here all his life. He was aged 31 years, 3 months and 1 day, and leaves a wife and one child to mourn the loss of an affectionate husband and father. His wife's maiden name was Mollie Diven, of Lewistown, Mifflin county. The circumstances attending the death of her husband so prostrated the wife that she was unable to accompany the remains home, and she is still in Iowa. The tenderest sympathies of all her neighbors are extended to her in her sad bereavement.
