Biography

Ashley was born at Arkansas Post, Arkansas Territory, on February 19, 1828.[1] He was the son of Chester Ashley, who was an attorney and later U.S. senator from Arkansas.[2] He received his education in the local schools, then studied law with an attorney in Monroe, Michigan.[3] He was admitted to the bar in 1849, and moved to Monterey, California, where he established a practice.[1][4]

As a member of the Democratic Party,[5] Ashley served as district attorney of Monterey County from 1851 to 1852.[1] From 1854 to 1855 he represented the 3rd District in the California State Assembly.[1] From 1856 to 1857 he served in the California State Senate as a member of the Know Nothings.[1][5] During his senate term, he was the body's president pro tempore.[6] He later became a Republican,[5] and he served as California State Treasurer from 1862 to 1863.[1]

In 1864, Ashley moved to Virginia City, Nevada.[1] In 1865, news accounts indicated he had been a passenger aboard the steamship Yosemite when her boiler exploded, killing 55 and injuring and burning dozens more.[7] Ashley was blown into the Sacramento River, and escaped the wreck by swimming to shore.[7]

Later that year he was elected to the United States House of Representatives from Nevada's at-large district.[1] He was reelected in 1866 and served from March 4, 1865 to March 3, 1869.[1] He was not a candidate for reelection in 1868.[1] During his Congressional service, Ashley was chairman of the Committee on Mines and Mining.[8]

He moved to Pioche, Nevada, in 1871 and resumed practicing law.[1] When his health began to fail in 1872, Ashley moved to San Francisco, California, where he lived in retirement until his death on July 18, 1873.[1] He was buried at Calvary Cemetery in San Francisco, and was later part of a mass reburial of Calvary Cemetery[9] remains at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Colma, California, Section H.[10]

Family

Ashley was the husband of Annie (McNamara) Ashley.[10] They were the parents of four children:

  • Delos Richard Ashley (1852–1932)[10]
