school superintendent, who died Friday morning at his home in Palmyra,
were conducted at 2:00 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the Thompson funeral
home by the Rev. Summerfield and burial was made in the Sunset Hill
Cemetery. Mr. Ash attended local schools, William Jewell College and
Chicago college. He taught various places throughout the state and was
