They spent their entire lives on the family homestead which came to Ashley from his father. Many of his sisters and brothers came back “home” to spend their last years and are buried in the family cemetery.
In the fall of 1886, David Ashley, had a stone wall built around the cemetery end double iron gates at the entrance. Unlike most family cemeteries, this plot is in excellent condition and each year decoration services are held on a Sunday near the beginning of June.
