Mrs. Ashby has been in declining health for some time but the last illness dates back to a month ago when the decline seemed to hasten. The end came peacefully. Mrs. Ashby was one of the pioneer mothers of the county. She was Dulcina Lockridge before marriage, a daughter of Robert and Elizabeth Lockridge, a family prominent in the history of western Indiana. The family settled in the south part of Montgomery County in 1835 when the deceased was 10 years old. There were six children in the family, four girls and two bos. All contributed a part in the creating and upbuilding of the community from its unbroken forests to the present standards of living. Mrs. Ashby was the last to die of this interesting and prominent family.
