Ada married Isaac Lashbrook 1 May 1895 in Kansas City, Wyandotte County, Kansas. Many records have that date as 1894, as it is published in her obituary. This contributor has a copy of their marriage record which clearly shows the year as 1895.

As far as can be determined Isaac never remarried and died sometime after 1954 in Des Moines, Iowa. His exact date of death and burial place have not been discovered.

Ada's obituary appeared in the February 3, 1910 issue of the Seneca Tribune, Seneca, Nemaha County, Kansas:

"Death of Mrs. Lashbrook

Mrs. Ada Lashbrook died Friday morning at 5 o'clock, in Kansas City, after an illness with paralysis of the left side, which had kept her bedfast for eight months. Her death occurred at the home of James Lashbrook, her husband's brother, where she had been cared for most of the time during her last illness.

Mrs. Lashbrook had lived in Seneca some of the time since her father, Joseph Guffy's illness and remained in his home to give him care until her own illness compelled her to return to Kansas City. The body was brought to the home of Mr. Guffy in Seneca, Saturday afternoon and burial was held from there Monday morning at 9 o'clock. According to an expressed wish of Mrs. Lashbrook's the interment was made in the Ford cemetery, on Tennessee Creek, where her mother and brother buried.

Rev. S. I. Titus had charge of the services at the house, using a short burial service, was assisted in the singing of the hymns by O. F. Winship and Mrs. Emma Kennard. The selections were "Best in Jesus" and "Nearer My God to Thee".

Mrs. Lashbrook was the second daughter born to Joseph and Elizabeth Guffy. Her birth occurred June 13, 1872, during the time they made their home near Oneida. Her father moved to Seneca again after the death of his wife, and most of her schooling was had in the Seneca schools. She was a member of the Universalist Sunday school during her childhood. Her marriage to Isaac Lashbrook took place in Kansas City, May 1, 1894. Her husband, her father and her sisters, Mrs. Alpha Gilliland of Washington, Mrs. Ida Stine and Mildred Guffy of Seneca, survive her.

Her death before middle life brings sadness to the homes of these relatives and their families. Sympathy in her loss is extended to the feeble father, the husband and other members of the family."
