Paper: Davis County Clipper
Dated: 3 Oct 1902
Richard Ashdown, sen. died of old age at his home in East Bountiful, Saturday, Sept. 27th, at 4 p.m., at the ripe old age of 88 years, 9 months and 25 days. Deceased was born at Uckfield, Essuck Co, England. Dec 2, 1813.
He became acquainted with the elders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the fifties and was ready for baptism upon first hearing the gospel and immediately became an active member in spreading the gospel. He presided over the branch where he lived until 1861, when he emigrated to Utah and settled in Salt Lake City; later he moved to Bountiful where he remained until his death. In the year 1870, during the new move of the Godbyites, he became desirous of finding out something about them and, being deaf, he became a subscriber to the Tribune as that paper advocated their doctrine and the same year he was excommunicated from the church for refusing to give up the paper but he never became identified with the Godbyites.
Funeral services were held in the East ward tabernacle, Tuesday, Sept. 30th at 10 a.m. Consoling remarks were made by James Burningham, Alfred Burningham, C.R. Jones, John Fisher, Judson Tolman, E.L. Hook. All testified to his good character. His testimony to the last was that the gospel is true and that through this church is the only gateway into the kingdom of God.
