Mrs. Matilda H. Ashpole
Matilda H. Haney was born in Clinton, Clinton County, Iowa, February 6,1846, and was the youngest of five children, all of who are deceased. She was married to the Reverend Fredrick Ashpole February 23,1867 and there were born to them four daughters there of whom survive-Mrs. Mary Ranz and Mrs. Martha Polbemus (NOTE: last name should be spelled Polhemus) of Guide Rock and Mrs. Nancy Hefty of Lawrence KS. Margaret died in childhood.
Shortly after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Ashpole moved from Clinton to Toledo, Iowa, where he did farm work and accumulated some property; he also did supply work in the Methodist ministry in the year 1890. Rev. and Mrs. Ashpole came to Atlanta, Nebraska where Mr. Ashpole became the resident pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church. Here he invested wisely his accumulations in land and other properties, all the while continuing his work in the ministry. He served three years in the war of the rebellion and was with Sherman in his "march to the sea." He died some five years ago and was buried in the Guide Rock Cemetery.
It was with some reluctance that Mrs. Ashpole gave up her comfortable and commodious home both in Toledo, Iowa, and at Atlanta, Nebraska, to be an itinerant preachers helpmate; but for Christ's sake and for her husband's sake, she did so and threw her heart and soul into the work. Since the death of her husband, Mrs. Ashpole had lived in Guide Rock having previously purchased a home here. She was active in church work, and attendant at the prayer meetings, a member of the Women's Adult Bible class and a liberal supporter to all the benevolent enterprises of the church.
Some few months ago she was taken ill and for a time it was thought she would not recover, however she rallied and went about some here and there, and was at church and Sunday School at time or two; yet nor fully recovered. On Saturday afternoon, March 15, about 2 o'clock, she was suddenly stricken and became unconscious at once, and remained so until death came at 10;20 o'clock Sunday morning, March 16. She was in her sixty eighth year.
The funeral services were held from the Methodist church of which the deceased was a member, conducted by the pastor Rev.E. L. Barch, assisted by Rev. W.F. Robbins of the Baptist church, Internment took place in the Guide Rock cemetery (sic).
