Traer Doctor and Wife Celebrate Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary
Dr. and Mrs. OG W Ashton of Traer mark their 50th anniversary. Born in Pennsylvania, he arrived in Traer in 1873, his first business card appearing in the 1874 Clipper. She was born in Frankstown in 1881 and came to Winton in 1865. They had two daughters, one died, the other Maud Carhart lives in Sheffield. A snowbound journey to Vinton delayed their wedding four days as the only rail link failed, forcing a four day trek by snowbound train and eventual walk to Vinton.
