The details of how he had stuck a nail in his foot and developed tetanus just nine days thereafter, were given. From the time that the attack began on Saturday, till he died, on Tuesday morning, Mr. Ashcraft suffered agony. No one possessing less magnificent physical strength than he could have held out so long. He was a man of perfect and powerful physique, and in perfect health before the misfortune. so terrible and sudden a death of a man so vigorous adds tragedy and shock not accompanying death under ordinary circumstances. The body was brought to Monroe Tuesday night and funeral was held next day from the residence of Dr. H. D. Stewart, brother-in-law of the deceased. Rev. Messrs. J. H. Bradley, J. A. Bivens, M. T. Steele and T. J. Huggins were present and took part in the services. The Woodmen of the World, the fraternal order of which the deceased was a member, held an additional service at the grave. The deceased was 55 years old, and a son of the late Mr. Calvin Ashcraft of Marshville township. He was a brother of Dr. J. E. Ashcraft of Monroe, Messrs. H. C. Ashcraft and F. W. Ashcraft of Marshville, and Mrs. S. A. Redfearn and Mrs. H. B. Marsh. His wife, who was Miss Laura Stewart, daughter of the late Jno D. Stewart, and his three children, the youngest of whom is three years of age, survive. Mr. Ashcraft came from the old family homestead in Marshville township, where he had already been farming and merchandising, to Monroe about twenty-seven years ago. He engaged in business enterprises and later served a short time in the revenue service and then became chief of police of Monroe. Ten years ago he decided to go back to farming, and moved to his farm six miles southwest of town. He quickly developed into a fine farmer, adopting all the new methods and principles and making a thorough study of the business. He also took an active part in the work of the school and church in the community. The Monroe Journal Tuesday, September 9, 1913 Page 1
