Nancy E. Bankston Asbury

Mrs. H. G. Ashbury Called to Last Rest
A host of friends over the county were saddened to learn of the death of Mrs. H. G. Ashbury, which occurred Tuesday morning at her home near Jenkinsburg. She had been in feeble health for several months and her death while not entirely unexpected was a keen shock to hundreds of friends. Death was brought about by a complication of diseases.
Mrs. Ashbury was 61 years old, and before her marriage was a Miss Bankston and a member of one of the county's most prominent families. She was truly a good woman, a devoted wife and loving and indulgent mother, whose beautiful Christian virtues will long be remembered in the community in which she lived out her years.
Surviving Mrs. Ashbury are her husband, Mr. H. G. Asbury, a prominent citizen of the county and former County Commissioner; three daughters, Mrs. J. B. Childs and Mrs. Harvey Jackson of Jenkinsburg, Mrs. William Mitchell of Atlanta; three sons, Mr. Orville Ashbury of New York City, Mressrs. Austin and Ambrsse Ashbury ofAtlanta; three brothers, Messrs. J. M. and W. J. Bankston of Jenkinsburg, Ed Bankston of Manilla, P. I. and a sister Mrs. C. H. Farrar of Jenkinsburg.
The funeral, which was largely attended by sorrowing friends was held at County Line church, Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Smith conducted the services.
In their sorrow the family have the sympathy of their scores of friends.
