Asa Mallory was born in Rutland County, Vt., Oct. 17, 1824, a son of David and
Cynthia (Collars) Mallory. His early life was spent on the home farm, remaining
with his parents as long as they
lived. In the spring of 1850 he went to California making the trip overland,
arriving in the Eldorado of the West six months after leaving home. He went to
work in the mines and contracted typhoid fever. After several weeks of illness
the physicians told him his only chance of recovery was to return to the States
by water. After a voyage of fifty-five days he reached New York, but the
exposures and hardships he had undergone left their impress in his system, and
it was months before he regained his usual health.
After his return home he assumed charge of the homestead and went to work to
retrieve his losses in the West. The result was soon an addition of 125 acres to
the original forty acres entered by his father, and good buildings and other
improvements. Mr. Mallory was married in 1860 to Sytheria E. Wright, daughter of
Sherman and Anna (Failing) Wright, old residents of Steuben County. Mr. and Mrs.
Mallory have six childrenFlora E., wife of Granville L. McClue; Cynthia B.,
Frank L., Herbert C, Clarence A. and Clyde L. Mr. Mallory is a man of strong
political convictions, but has always refused to accept any official position.
He has never voted any but the straight Democratic ticket.
