Alma Curtis Ashby
Alma "Curtis" Ashby was born to Sarah Elizabeth Markham and William Ashby Sr. In the early spring of 1922 he met and courted Evelyn Eliza (Evah)Clark. She had just returned from a mission to the eastern states. They had a happy courtship and the family was happy with his choice of bride. Curtis married Evelyn Evah Clark on September 1, 1922 in Salt Lake Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah.
He was a proud man and father, a choice father who loved his family. He loved his neighbors and had many friends. He loved farming and cared for his animals. There was never a neighbor who asked a favor who was ever turned down, a soft spoken person with a sense of humor that his son Don and daughter Norma inherited. He was a great story teller, which all enjoyed.
Curtis worked hard to maintain a good living for his family. When unable to make it farming he sought work elsewhere. He was never too proud of what the job might be, and he always did his best plus extra.
Depression years were hard, but looking back it was a happy time of life. The children didn't realize how hard times were as children growing up, or how hard Curtis had to work, but they lived a good life and all their needs were well supplied.
Curtis loved horses and was always proud of a good matched team. His animals were well cared for both winter and summer. He had a good dog and a pet cat that stayed around the granary and the corrals, and was fed fresh milk at each milking.
These are but a few of the attributes of a kind and gentle man who lived a good life, though a short one. It was full, and well remembered by all who knew and loved and shared with him. The memory of him is very choice. He died October 26, 1926 of a heart attack while working in the mountains that he loved.
