Charley Ashman, for many years in the drug business on the west side of the square, Frankfort, committed suicide in the Masonic temple, Saturday, by taking poison. Despondency is supposed to have been the cause of the deed. Ashman was a son of Dick Ashman, who married a sister of George and Simon Ohl, late in life. The woman had been the wife of William Clapper before her marriage to Ashman. The deceased man engaged in the drug business when a young man. He married a daughter of Clint Bryant, who, at the time, was a prominent businessman in the county seat, and served the county as clerk of the court. He also served in the legislature. Charley Ashman, like many others, had financial reverses late in life, and took the sure way out of his trouble.
