Samuel Ash, born November 23, 1835, at Tippicanoe, Miami Coounty, Ohio, married Mary Trowbridge. She was Born October 29, 1847, in Washington County, Iowa, and was the daughter of James L. Trowbridge and Mary McDowell Trowbridge.
Samuel Ash and Marry Trowbridge were married April 2, 1870, in Washington Co., Iowa. They were members of the Congregational Church.
In 1877 Samuel Charles Ash moved to Arkansas with his family staying one year. There was so much sickness in that locality that he relocated in Barber County, Kansas, where he took up raising cattle and wheat. His ranch extended on into Oklahoma. He remained a rancher for many years.
Samuel Charles Ash and his family were among the early settlers of the Barber County and Medicine Lodge era. He was the counselor of his community and many friends. The Ash family's home was open to many friends Jerry Simpson often enjoyed their hospitality, as did Carrie Nation as she passed by on her crusades for the "Temperance Union". Other visitors were Bill Cody, another citizen of Kansas and Bill Hickok.
The Ash ranch was on the Kansas and Oklahoma and Indian Territory borders. Charles Samuel Ash, as a boy heard the shots fired by the United States Soldiers that opened the Cherokee Strip.
In 1893 people were there in every conceivable mode of travel. Some had their horses hitched up to their plows and as the shot was fired they started plowing on the claim they wanted for their homestead. This was Indian country and to theses settlers from "Back East" this was far from the life they had lived in the settlements they came from.
But soon the landscape changed as by magic. Large herds of cattle soon replace the many buffalo. The ranches of rolling wheat fields and the hundreds of settlers that came helped to build up the Great Common Wealth of Kansas, the Golden Wheat and Black Gold of the Oil Fields. This was their dream come true.
Samuel Charles Ash died on 16 September 1923, in Beaver County Oklahoma, and was buried in Canyon, Texas. May his memory ever remain in the hearts of those who knew him for a right and justice use of his life. His wife, Mary Trowbridge Ash, died March 29, 1919, and also was buried in Canyon, Texas.
