[Transcribed November 30, 2007 from microfilm of the original newspaper on file in the Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library.] Mrs. Nannie (CORBIN) ASHCRAFT was born March 18, 1862 to Jesse and Delilah (JACKSON) CORBIN, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Glen E. BALLARD, in Denver, Colorado, April 2, 1933, aged seventy-one years and fifteen days. She was married to Albert ASHCRAFT November 24, 1883. To this union two children were born, a boy-Claud, dying in infancy. For several years after her marriage they lived on a farm near Robison, the husband being one of Jackson Township's best schoolteachers, taught school during the winter and was engaged in farming during the summer. They later left the farm, moving to Bedford, where Mr. ASHCRAFT engaged in the merchandise business until his death on November 19, 1904. Mrs. ASHCRAFT and daughter Aria, continued to live in Bedford and the daughter was a teacher in Bedford schools for several years. Her health giving away, she went to Colorado. Deriving much benefit by the change of climate, Mrs. ASHCRAFT sold her property in Bedford and went to Colorado that she might be with her daughter. Several months ago she was stricken with valvular heart trouble from which she never recovered. But the immediate cause of her death was possibly bronchial pneumonia. Mrs. ASHCRAFT united with the M. E. church in early life, but later affiliated herself with the Baptist church, remaining true to its teachings until death. She has many relatives and friends in the community where her childhood and youth was spent and in Bedford, who mourn her passing away. - Link to the Obituary of her mother, Delilah (JACKSON) CORBIN [1827KY-1891IN]: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene&m=2572 - Link to the Obituary of her father, Jesse CORBIN [1821KY-1894IN]: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene&m=2726 - Link to the Obituary of her paternal grandmother, Sarah Hannah (BIVENS) CORBIN [1796KY-1889IN]: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene&m=4864 - Link to the Obituary of her sister, Amanda CORBIN [1849IN-1933IN]: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene&m=3806 - Link to the Obituary of her sister, Lucretia (CORBIN) DOYLE [1857IN-1936IN]: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene&m=4319 - Link to the Obituary of her sister, Minerva (CORBIN) ASHCRAFT [1859IN-1940IN]: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene&m=5345 - Link to the Obituary of her sister, Martha Ellen (CORBIN) (ASHCRAFT) HORN [1869IN-1957IN]: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene&m=3824 - Link to the Obituary of her sister, Cathryn (CORBIN) BRUCE [1852IN-1936IN]: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene&m=4320 - Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
