Evening Star, June 5, 1857
Ashton. On the 3d instant, in the 18th year of her age, of heart affection, which she bore with Christian fortitude, Margaret Elizabeth Ashton, youngest daughter of C.H.B. Ashton. In the death of this young lady society has lost one of its brightest ornaments, and a vacuum has been left which is not easy to fill. The writer of this is no advocate for too much eulogy upon the dead, but the many good qualities and virtues of the deceased are so well known to him, they cannot be passed over without comment. She was an affectionate daughter, kind sister, and warm hearted friend, and those who knew her best loved her most. She has left to mourn her loss a large circle of relatives and friends, but they have the sweet consolation to believe she has been taken from them for some wise purpose, and their loss will be her gain. May she rest in peace. (Winchester, Va., papers please copy).
