Butts Argus -  October 1914
Mrs. H. G. Ashbury Called to Last Rest

A host of fends over the county were saddened to learn of the death of Mrs. H.
G. Ashbury, which occurred Tuesday morning at her home near Jenkinsburg.   She
had been in feeble health for several months and her death while not entirely
unexpected was a keen shock to hundreds of friends.  Death was brought about by
a complication of diseases.

Mrs. Ashbury was 61 years old, and before her marriage was a Miss Bankston and a
member of one of the county’s most prominent families.  She was truly a good
woman, a devoted wife and loving and indulgent mother, whose beautiful Christian
virtues will long be remembered in the community in which she lived out her years.

Surviving Mrs. Ashbury are her husband, Mr. H. G. Asbury, a prominent citizen of
the county and former County Commissioner; three daughters, Mrs. J. B. Childs
and Mrs. Harvey Jackson of Jenkinsburg, Mrs. William Mitchell of Atlanta; three
sons, Mr. Orville Ashbury of New York City, Messrs. Austin and Ambrose Ashbury
ofAtlanta;  three brothers, Messrs. J. M. and W. J. Bankston of Jenkinsburg, Ed
Bankston of Manilla, P. I. and a sister Mrs. C. H. Farrar of Jenkinsburg.

The funeral, which was largely attended  by sorrowing friends was held at County
Line church, Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock.  Rev. Mr. Smith conducted the
services.

In their sorrow the family have the sympathy of their scores of friends.
