At the outbreat of the Civil War, he entered the United States service as surgeon of Berry's Cavalry, attached to the Thirteenth Missouri Volunteers. The regiment was captured and paroled at Lexington, Missouri, in September, 1861. The regiment was reorganized as the Twenty-firth Missouri, but Berry's battalion, refusing to become a part thereof, was mustered out. After passing the required examination, befoe the Army and Navy Medical Board at St. Louis, he was assigned to the Fourteenth Regiment, Missouri Volunteer Cavalry. In October 1862 he resigned by reason of ill health contracted in the service.
He married Miss Angie Rebecca Longley, January 1, 1860, in Hartford, Kansas. To them were born seven children, five daughters and two sons, only two of whom are now living, Mrs. Herbert E. Horan and Mrs. Haddington G. Brown.
In 1863, Dr. Ashley located in La Prairie, Adams County, Illinois, and was engaged in private practice seven years. He served as a ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church for a number of years and advised and urged by the brethren, to prepare to preach the Gospel, he was ordained a minister by the Presbytery of Schuyler, Illinois, in 1870, and acceptably filled pulpits in the Presbyteries of Schuyler and Bloomington, Illinois, Lake Superior, Michigan and Nebraska City, Nebraska.

Dr Ashley continued in the ministry from the time of his ordination till 1895, when he ceased active work, determining to devote the remainder of his years to medicine as he found that medicine made the greatest demands on his time and strength. At no time in his ministerial work was he allowed to live free from demands on his medical and surgical skill, and much of the time was obliged actively to practice the healing art.
In 1891, he came to Fairmont, Nebraska, where he was pastor of the Presbyterian Church til 1895, and where he resided until his death.
Dr. Ashley was well read in medicine and theology and was a constant student. He was a wise counselor, a good friend, genial and generous. His was a useful life. A good man is taken from us. May the God he served no comfort his loved ones and keep them all their days.
The funeral occurred Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock in the Presbyterian Church, Rev. Meek officiating, assisted by Rev. Gates. The services were under the auspices of the Masonic lodge. Members of the O.E.S, G.A.R., and W.R.C. were also present. The floral offerings were handsome and profuse. Interment was made in the Fairmont Cemetery, under the Masonic ritual service.
