Ashcraft, Aldis I.
The Redding Searchlight, Tues., January 14, 1930

In 1896 he came to Redding and opened a shop on California street, engaging in business there until 1911, when he returned to Olympia. For the last two years he had resided in Redding. As the only living charter member of the Olympia Masonic lodge, Ashcraft was accorded many honors by the Olympia group, his dues being paid for life and he was given the opportunity, if he wished to avail himself of it, to transfer to any Masonic lodge in the United States or Canada without the usual formalities.

Three daughters survive, Mrs. Edith I. Hill and Miss Faye Ashcraft of Redding and Mrs. C. A. Jacobson of Seattle. There are three grandsons, Robert Jacobson of Seattle, Eric Hill, a student in Stanford University, and Clair Hill of Los Angeles.

Ashcraft, Clara
The Redding Searchlight, Wed., September 15, 1909

Mrs. Clara Ashcraft, wife of A. I. Ashcraft, died suddenly at 7:25 last evening in St. Caroline Hospital. She was operated upon Monday morning for goitre, Dr. Terry of San Francisco, an eminent specialist in that line, performing the operation. The patient was recovering satisfactorily until 6 p.m. when a turn for the worse came and it was apparent to the attending physicians that death was approaching. All the members of the family were summoned to the bedside. Mrs. Ashcraft remained conscious almost until the very last and bade those who were so near and dear a long good-bye.

The news of Mrs. Ashcraft's death is a shock to the whole community, for it was only as recently as Monday that she was driving on the streets in company of her husband and had a cheerful word for all those who greeted her. Mrs. Ashcraft was born in Missouri in 1861 and married her now bereaved husband in Kansas in 1880. They lived on Puget Sound, near Olympia, for several years before coming in 1896 to Redding, where they had resided ever since. Besides her husband the decedent leaves three daughters--Mrs. Henry G. Hill, Miss Pearl Ashcraft and Miss Faye Ashcraft, all at home in Redding.

Mrs. Ashcraft was a member of the Order of Eastern Star and also of the Methodist church. She was a devoted mother and attached to her home, but her influence for good was felt throughout the community. The suddenness and circumstances of her death cause an unusual feeling of sympathy for the sorrowing family.

The funeral will be held from the family residence at 2 p.m. tomorrow. [Note: The California Death Index gives her name as Clarissa D. Ashcraft.]
