I received an email from a researcher, and I was hoping someone on this list might be able to help her. Do not click "reply" because the email will either go to this list or to me. She is not a subscriber. Send an email to her at the address at the end. She emailed me a photo of her grandmother's brother's hotel called Ashley Hotel which was in Easton, Washington. She writes "I'm not sure when he moved to Easton, WA but this letter to my grandmother was dtd. 1922/23. I will receive a copy of the letter soon which tells a bit more about this family at the time. John L. Ashley and his wife Jennie Johnson Ashley are buried in the Laurel Hill Cemetery in Cle Elum. Perhaps you could tell me where I might find more about this family. Do you know anyone that might have the 1910 Census to see if this Ashley family was in this area by that time?" A separate email states the following: "I'm seeking any descendants of the John L. Ashley b 5 Nov 1862 in Ashe Co., NC. His wife was Jennie Johnson Ashley. They owned and operated the Ashley Hotel in Easton, WA in the early 1920's. John and Jennie are buried in the Laurel Hill Cemetery in Cle Elum. Their children were: Elizabeth "Lizzie" b 12-24-1888, Henry Ashley b May 16, 1890, Howard Ashley b June 24, 1892, Cora Lee Ashley b June 25, 1894 and Raymond Ashley b Oct. 12, 1900. I have quite a bit on the history of this family from their birth place of Ashe Co., NC. Will gladly share." - Janice Isaacs Pilkington (janice@w- link.net) Sharon Bart Listowner and County Sponsor
