The Fillmore Chronicle (Fairmont) May 29th, 1903 page 8:
Angie Rebecca Longley was born in Canadaigua, N.Y., June 23, 1840. Her parents were both of New England, Puritan stock, and her ancestors were prominent among the patriots in the army of the Revolution.
In her early childhood, her parents returned from Canadaigua, N.Y., to their old Massachusetts home, where she was brought up. While quite young, she made public profession of her faith, by joining the church, and was always prominent in Christian work.
In 1856 she moved with her parents, to Baraboo, Wis., where she first met Dr. A.F. Ashley. Three years later she, with her parents, removed to Kansas, where she and Dr. Ashley were married January 1, 1860. Seven children blessed this union, only two of whom, Mrs. Horan and Mrs. Brown survive their parents. The early years of Mrs. Ashley's married life was spent in Forest City, Mo.
Her father was shot in Quantrell's raid on Lawrence, Kans., in 1863. Their life and property being in danger in Missouri, on account of their anti-slavery view, they removed to La Prairie, Ill., where they lived thirteen years. Here Dr. Ashely entered the Presbyterian ministry and Mrs. Ashely took up the arduous duties of a minister's wife, which she actively and cheerfully performed during the remainder of her life. From Illinois, the family came to Nebraska in 1885, locating in Fairmont in January, 1892.
For about a year Mrs. Ashley made her home with her younger daughter, Mrs. Brown, in Springville, Utah. Mrs. Ashley's health had been poor for some time before she went to Utah, her trouble developed into dropsy,and her condition grew gradually worse until she was called Home Thursday, Mary 21, at 8 p.m. Aged 62 years, 10 months and 28 days.
The girls in the Utah school, where she visited last year, refer to Mrs. Ashley as a sweet Christian model for them to copy. She was always thoughtful of and helpful to others. Her uncomplaining gentleness was only fearful, in her last illness, lest she should be a care to others instead of caring for them.
If one were to speak of a sweet character, full of sunshine and love, nine out of ten, who knew her , would immediately think of Mrs. Ashley, next to their own mother. Some of earth's sunshine was taken away when Mrs Ashley was called Home. Her life will help us all even ore than her best friends realize. Her bereaved daughters have the heartfelt sympathy of the whole community in their great loss.
The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian Church Sunday at 3 p.m. by the pastor, Rev. Ira McConaughy, assisted by Revs. Beaver and Gates of the Congregational and M.E. churches. By request of the family, no reference was made to the dead in the religious service, but all the remarks of the three ministers was of the joy and hope of the future life.
The W.R.C and Eastern Star attended the service in a body. Floral tributes were furnished by the Presbyterian Church, the Eastern Star, the W.R.C. and a large number of individual friends. Interment was made in the Fairmont Cemetery.
