ASHLEY - Lola B. Ashley died May 18, 1882, at the residence of her mother, in 
the township of Woodbridge, aged 26 years and five months, with consumption, 
which she bore with Christian fortitude and patience worthy of limitation.  
Lola died in the triumph of that Christian faith that is always sure to lift 
the soul above this world's care and wretchedness, and as the time grew near 
for the dissolution of soul and body her faith grew stronger, clinging closer 
to the cross as she neared the river, and in trying to comfort her dear mother 
in the affliction, she exclaimed, in the presence of the writer, "ma, it is 
all right.  Only a little while, only a little while and I will be with pa.  
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, only a little while, ma."  At another time, 
a few moments before she departed, her mother was weeping, and Lola looked up, 
saying, "ma, don't cry, I am only going home"  Bidding them all good bye, she 
quietly departed to her glorious rest, leaving an evidence as a legacy to her 
friends that indeed "precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his 
saints."  Her friends have the heart-felt sympathy of the entire community, 
where Lola lived her entire life time.  She was born within one-fourth of a 
mile of where she died.
