The Raleigh Standard, 14 Sept. 1859
 DIED, at Petersburg, Va. , Sunday, at one o'clock a.m., MR. THOMAS S. ASHE, 
aged about 45 years. MR. ASHE was a son of the late COL. SAM ASHE, of 
Revolutionary memory, and grandson of GOV. SAM ASHE.
   Impoverished in early manhood by an unlucky speculation, MR. ASHE became 
one of the earliest emigrants to California. With but one object in view -- 
home -- as the reward of exertion and self-denial, MR. ASHE, in a few years 
had accumulated a sum sufficient for his purposes. He was rapidly laying the 
foundation of an estate, when stricken down by premature death. Chastened by 
the trials and hardships of his early life, he had much sympathy for the poor. 
He had a vigorous intellect. He was social in his disposition, and such was 
the "bonhomie" of his manners that he made many friends -- enemies he had none.
