Wilmington Messenger - Col. John Ashford, of Clinton, who was fatally hurt by 
the explosion of his boiler last Thursday, died yesterday morning. His two 
sons died the day of the accident, and the fireman, a colored man, was 
instantly killed. The damage to the property was $2,000, and probably puts an 
end to an enterprise which promised much to Clinton. Colonel Ashford was about 
putting in a new machinery for the manufacture of buckets, tubs, etc.
