The Tecumseh Chieftain (Tecumseh, Nebraska) Saturday July 22, 1916, page 4
Asbury Edmisten died at the home of his son, A. E. Edmisten, four miles east of Tecumseh, at 5:30 o'clock, p.m. on Saturday, July 15, 1916. The cause of death was dropsy. Something like a year ago Mr. Edmisten was injured in a runaway at Oconto, from the effects of which he became ill, and his health had failed since. For four months Mr. Edmisten had been confined to his bed a portion of the time. His age was eight-two years, two months and twelve days.
Asbury Edmisten was born near Buffalo, Mo., May 3, 1836. At the age of seventeen years he moved to Texas with his parents, and in 1852 he was married to Miss Martha White, in that state. Later the family located in Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs. Edmisten were parents of six children, two being deceased. Francis died in infancy, and Lewis, who grew to manhood, died at Johnson about four years ago. The living children are Alan E. Edmisten of Montrose, Colo., Mrs. George Ewh of Talmage, John Edmisten of Curtis, and the son living here, with whom the later had been making his home. Mrs. Edmisten died in March, 1902, and Mr. Edmisten is survived by one brother, Abraham Edmisten, who lives in Eddyville.
Mr. Edmisten had the distinction of serving on both the union and confederate forces during the civil war, being engaged for a time in the early days of the conflict with the south, and his sympathy and service later going to the north. While serving in the army he also saw service in Indian engagements in the western part of this state. At the close of his army service Mr. Edmisten engaged in the livery business at Nebraska City, and a little later located on a farm near Brock, where the family continued to reside for a great many years. In 1868 Mr. Edmisten joined the Masonic lodge at Brock and had been a member since, being one of the oldest members of the fraternity in the state. The deceased was held in high esteem by his friends, being a man of pleasant disposition, generous and considerate.
The funeral was held at the home of the son at 2:00 o'clock, Sunday afternoon, and was well attended. Rev. Albert Osterhout of Bethany, formerly of the Brock section, conducted the service. The burial service was in charge of the Brock Masons, and the interment was in the Lafayette cemetery, near that town, the remains of Mrs. Edmisten being buried there.
