He was educated in the public schools, completing his classical study at Mansfield State Normal School. Deciding upon the profession of medicine, he entered the office of Dr. A. L. Bottum, of Westfield, Tioga county, Pennsylvania, where he fitted for medical college. He then entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Baltimore, whence he was graduated M.D., March 1, 1881. He began practice at Ellisburg, Potter county. Pennsylvania, continuing until February, 1882, when he located in Coudersport, Pennsylvania. In 1883-84, he took a post-graduate course at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, then returned to Coudersport, where he has since been in uninterrupted practice until the present date. In 1902 he took a post-graduate course at the Chicago Clinical College, and in every way keeps abreast of the latest thought or discovery that tends to increase his usefulness as a physician. He is very active in the work of the State Board of Health, and is consulting surgeon for the Northern Pennsylvania Hospital ; has jurisdiction over the eight health officers of Potter county, and is county medical inspector. He served six years as coroner of Potter county, was physician for the county jail and county home several years, has been a member of the medical staff of Austin Hospital ever since its organization eight years ago ; and is secretary of the County Medical Society and member of the State Medical Society, and has sat as delegate from Potter county at several annual sessions. He is a Republican in politics, and has served on the school board for six years as president, now entering upon a second term of six years; was secretary of the board of pension examiners for seventeen years until the board was abolished, and has also been chairman of the Republican county committee. Dr. Ashcraft has been, and is, prominent in the leading secret and fraternal orders. He is a member of the lodge and chapter of the Masonic order, and holds the thirty-second degree, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Coudersport Consistory. He is past noble grand of Lodge No. 815, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, which he joined as a charter member twenty-five years ago ; is the only male past grand of the Rebekahs, and past chief patriarch of the encampment. He belongs to Camp No. 121, Sons of Veterans, of which he was captain for three years, state surgeon one year, and state mustering officer two years. His chief recreation is hunting big game, and his home is adorned with many trophies of the chase, brought low during his annual trips to Maine and Canada. He married, December 25, 1882, Anna L. Jones, born in Corning, New York, educated in the high school and at the Mansfield (Pennsylvania) State Normal School. She is the daughter of Bernard Jones, born in Ireland, came to the United States, and settled in Corning, where he died. Children of Dr. Elwin H. and Anna L. Ashcraft, all born in Coudersport: 1. Florence, born February, 1886; married Edward Waterbury, city editor of the Corning Leader. 2. Walter, born April, 1888; a civil engineer of Salem, Ohio; married. 3.

Frank Hammon, son of Alfred Derwin and Almira Eaton (Short) Ashcraft, was born in Addison, Steuben county, New York, March 1, 1859, and is now living in Westfield, Tioga county, Pennsylvania. He received his early education in the public schools, the high school of Westfield, Pennsylvania, and the high school of Elkland, Pennsylvania, and the State Normal School of Mansfield, Pennsylvania. Not being ordinarily strong, and naturally very nervous, in working his way through the normal school and relying on his own resources, he found himself placed to a great disadvantage by being in a club of students, this disadvantage and resulting over- work brought on nervous prostration, the result and effects of which he was never able to overcome. This caused great disappointment in compelling him to abandon his plans for a college education. Being then disappointed, after some rest, he took up teaching in the public schools, which he followed (as health would permit) for a period of about five years, during which time he devoted considerable time to systematic and ornamental penmanship, and did much ornamental scroll card work and engrossing (a fad of that time). He became instructor in penmanship and organized and taught evening schools in the adjoining towns. He then began the study of art and portraiture, and his natural artistic ability and aptness with a pen enabled him to produce some of his first portraits with pen and ink, one of which he still keeps as a relic of his first effort at a pen portrait, produced in 1882, without instruction or without ever seeing one. He then took up sign writing, which he did for immediate vocation together with portrait work. The sign writing eventually developed into every variety of artistic sign, from the show card in colors with the shading pen to the goldleaf work on wood and glass. In about the year 1887 he opened a studio in Westfield, Pennsylvania, and carried art goods, pictures and mouldings in stock, and did picture framing in connection with the other work, but made a specialty of a high grade free hand solid crayon portrait work, in which he became very proficient, and has produced some of the finest portraits in Tioga county, and had exceptional success under difficult circumstances, where a likeness could only be had by description, dictation, or memory. Much of his work in this line can be found through the county. About 1905 Mr. Ashcraft took up landscape painting in pastel, which he is still pursuing in connection with the portrait work, and is producing a great variety of pastel work in landscape, marine, fruit, fish, game, and also the latest fads of firelight and campfire scenes, and rare originals and from nature, which are gaining a wide reputation. These pieces are usually made up to order and sent to different places, and some of the leading cities in the United States. He has work in New York City and in Boston that has been bought or made to order from his studio in Westfield, Pennsylvania. He is a Republican in politics, and a Methodist in religion. He is a member of the K. O. T. M., and also of the K. of H. He married, May 14, 1891, Ida Adelia, daughter of Alexander W. and Mary Elizabeth (Morehouse) Holley, born in Savona, Steuben county, New York, February 1, 1861, now living in Westfield. Her grandfather was Solomon S. Holley, who was a soldier in the war of 1812, and a son of John B. Holley, and her father was born in Steuben county, New York, June 29, 1835, and is now living in Westfield. He enlisted in Bath, New York, September 1, 1864. in Company H. 189th Regiment New York Volunteers, and took part in the battles of Hatcher's Run, Gravel Run, Whiteoak Roads, Wilson's Farm, and was present at the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox, and was honorably discharged from the service May 25, 1865. Her mother was born in Tompkins county, New York, March 27, 1839, an( i died in Westfield, May 29, 1908.

In 1883-84, he took a post-graduate course at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, then returned to Coudersport, where he has since been in uninterrupted practice until the present date. In 1902 he took a post-graduate course at the Chicago Clinical College, and in every way keeps abreast of the latest thought or discovery that tends to increase his usefulness as a physician. He is very active in the work of the State Board of Health, and is consulting surgeon for the Northern Pennsylvania Hospital ; has jurisdiction over the eight health officers of Potter county, and is county medical inspector. He served six years as coroner of Potter county, was physician for the county jail and county home several years, has been a member of the medical staff of Austin Hospital ever since its organization eight years ago ; and is secretary of the County Medical Society and member of the State Medical Society, and has sat as

He is a Republican in politics, and has served on the school board for six years as president, now entering upon a second term of six years; was secretary of the board of pension examiners for seventeen years until the board was abolished, and has also been chairman of the Republican county committee. Dr. Ashcraft has been, and is, prominent in the leading secret and fraternal orders.

She is the daughter of Bernard Jones, born in Ireland, came to the United States, and settled in Corning, where he died. Children of Dr. Elwin H. and Anna L. Ashcraft, all born in Coudersport:

(Ill (IV?)) Frank Hammon, son of Alfred Derwin and Almira Eaton (Short) Ashcraft, was born in Addison, Steuben county, New York, March 1, 1859, and is now living in Westfield, Tioga county, Pennsylvania. He received his early education in the public schools, the high school of Westfield, Pennsylvania, and the high school of Elkland, Pennsylvania, and the State Normal School of Mansfield, Pennsylvania. Not being ordinarily strong, and naturally very nervous, in working his way through the normal school and relying on his own resources, he found himself placed to a great disadvantage by being in a club of students, this disadvantage and resulting over- work brought on nervous prostration, the result and effects of which he was never able to overcome. This caused great disappointment in compelling him to abandon his plans for a college education. Being then disappointed, after some rest, he took up teaching in the public schools, which he followed (as health would permit) for a period of about five years, during which time he devoted considerable time to systematic and ornamental penmanship, and did much ornamental scroll card work and engrossing (a fad of that time). He became instructor in penmanship and organized and taught evening schools in the adjoining towns. He then began the study of art and portraiture, and his natural artistic ability and aptness with a pen enabled him to produce some of his first portraits with pen and ink, one of which he still keeps as a relic of his first effort at a pen portrait, produced in 1882, without instruction or without ever seeing one. He then took up sign writing, which he did for immediate vocation together with portrait work. The sign writing eventually developed into every variety of artistic sign, from the show card in colors with the shading pen to the goldleaf work on wood and glass. In about the year 1887 he opened a studio in Westfield, Pennsylvania, and carried art goods, pictures and mouldings in stock, and did picture framing in connection with the other work, but made a specialty of a high grade free hand solid crayon portrait work, in which he became very proficient, and has produced some of the finest portraits in Tioga county, and had exceptional success under difficult circumstances, where a likeness could only be had by description, dictation, or memory. Much of his work in this line can be found through the county.

About 1905 Mr. Ashcraft took up landscape painting in pastel, which he is still pursuing in connection with the portrait work, and is producing a great variety of pastel
work in landscape, marine, fruit, fish, game, and also the latest fads of firelight and campfire scenes, and rare originals and from nature, which are gaining a wide reputation. These pieces are usually made up to order and sent to different places, and some of the leading cities in the United States. He has work in New York City and in Boston that has been bought or made to order from his studio in Westfield, Pennsylvania. He is a Republican in politics, and a Methodist in religion. He is a member of the K. O. T. M., and also of the K. of H.

He married, May 14, 1891, Ida Adelia, daughter of Alexander W. and Mary Elizabeth (Morehouse) Holley, born in Savona, Steuben county, New York, February 1, 1861,
now living in Westfield. Her grandfather was Solomon S. Holley, who was a soldier in the war of 1812, and a son of John B. Holley, and her father was born in Steuben county, New York, June 29, 1835, and is now living in Westfield. He enlisted in Bath, New York, September 1, 1864. in Company H. 189th Regiment New York Volunteers, and took part in the battles of Hatcher's Run, Gravel Run, Whiteoak Roads, Wilson's Farm, and was present at the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox, and was honorably discharged from the service May 25, 1865. Her mother was born in Tompkins county, New York, March 27, 1839, an( i died in Westfield, May 29, 1908. Their children were Ida Ade- lia, married Frank Hammon Ashcraft, referred to above; Byron W., now living in Osceola. Pennsylvania. Children of Frank Hammon and Ida Adelia (Holley") Ashcraft:
Mary Almira, born January 19, 1894, died in infancy;

Samuel Ashcraft. the first ASHCRAFT member of this family of whom we have any definite information, was a son of Samuel S. Ash- craft, who was a soldier in the revolutionary war. He was one of the pioneer settlers of Chenango county, New York, and died there. He was a farmer, and married prior to coming to Chenango county, Margaret, daughter of David Daniels, who was also a soldier in the revolution, and among their children was Alfred Derwin, referred to below.

(II) Alfred Derwin, son of Samuel and Margaret (Daniels) Ashcraft, was born atMcDonough, Chenango county, New York, August 19, 1823, and died in Westfield, Penn
sylvania, July 28, 1898. He received his early education in the public schools of his native county, and then learned the trade of a carpenter, and in 1861 removed to Clymer township, Tioga county, Pennsylvania, and settled on a farm. He enlisted September 8, 1864, at Syracuse, New York, in Company K, 185th Regiment New York Volunteer Infantry, and took part in the battles of Hatcher's Run, Weldon Railroad, the second fight at Hatcher's Run, Quaker Road, and other engagements. While in service a gun was discharged close to his right ear, resulting in deafening of ear, at the battle of Hatcher's Run, February 6, 1865; he received a gunshot wound, in the left leg above knee, in the fight at Quaker Road, March 29, 1865, and was furloughed to Washington, and honorably discharged from the service at Elmira, New

He was a Republican in politics and was at one time supervisor of highways, and one of the school directors at Addison, Steuben county, New York. He was a member of R. P. Babcock Post, No. 258, G. A. R., of which he was at different times senior and junior vice-commander. He married Almira Eaton, daughter of Zadock and Hannah (Van Horn) Short, born in DeRuyter.

Children : Elwin Hinkley, referred to below ;

Frank Hammon, referred to below.

(Ill) Dr. Elwin Hinkley Ashcraft. eldest son of Alfred D. and Almira Eaton (Short) Ashcraft, was born in Addison, Steuben county, New York, May 15, 1854. He was educated in the public schools, completing his classical study at Mansfield State Normal School. Deciding upon the profession of medicine, he entered the office of Dr. A. L. Bottum, of Westfield, Tioga county, Pennsylvania, where he fitted for medical college. He then entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Baltimore, whence he was graduated M.D., March 1, 1881. He began practice at Ellisburg, Potter county. Pennsylvania, continuing until February, 1882, when he located in Coudersport, Pennsylvania. In 1883-84, he took a post-graduate course at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, then returned to Coudersport, where he has since been in uninterrupted practice until the present date. In 1902 he took a post-graduate course at the Chicago Clinical College, and in every way keeps abreast of the latest thought or discovery that tends to increase his usefulness as a physician. He is very active in the work of the State Board of Health, and
is consulting surgeon for the Northern Pennsylvania Hospital ; has jurisdiction over the eight health officers of Potter county, and is county medical inspector. He served six years as coroner of Potter county, was physician for the county jail and county home several years, has been a member of the medical staff of Austin Hospital ever since its organization eight years ago ; and is secretary of the County Medical Society and member of the State Medical Society, and has sat as
delegate from Potter county at several annual sessions.

He is a Republican in politics, and has served on the school board for six years as president, now entering upon a second term of six years; was secretary of the board of pension examiners for seventeen years until the board was abolished, and has also been chairman of the Republican county committee. Dr. Ashcraft has been, and is, prominent in the leading secret and fraternal orders. He is a member of the lodge and chapter of the Masonic order, and holds the thirty-second degree, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Coudersport Consistory. He is past noble grand of Lodge No. 815, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, which he joined as a charter member twenty-five years ago ; is the only male past grand of the Rebekahs, and past chief patriarch of the encampment. He belongs to Camp No. 121, Sons of Veterans, of which he was captain for three years, state surgeon one year, and state mustering officer two years. His chief recreation is hunting big game, and his home is adorned with many trophies of the chase, brought low during his annual trips to Maine and Canada.

He married, December 25, 1882, Anna L. Jones, born in Corning, New York, educated in the high school and at the Mansfield (Pennsylvania) State Normal School. She is the daughter of Bernard Jones, born in Ireland, came to the United States, and settled in Corning, where he died. Children of Dr. Elwin H. and Anna L. Ashcraft, all born in Coudersport:
1. Florence, born February, 1886; married Edward Waterbury, city editor of the Corning Leader.
2. Walter, born April, 1888; a civil engineer of Salem, Ohio; married.
3. Bernard A., born 1890, druggist; resides at Sunbury, Pennsylvania.
4. Ronald S, born 1895 ; now a student in high school.

(Ill (IV?)) Frank Hammon, son of Alfred Derwin and Almira Eaton (Short) Ashcraft, was born in Addison, Steuben county, New York, March 1, 1859, and is now living in Westfield, Tioga county, Pennsylvania. He received his early education in the public schools, the high school of Westfield, Pennsylvania, and the high school of Elkland, Pennsylvania, and the State Normal School of Mansfield, Pennsylvania. Not being ordinarily strong, and naturally very nervous, in working his way through the normal school and relying on his own resources, he found himself placed to a great disadvantage by being in a club of students, this disadvantage and resulting over-
work brought on nervous prostration, the result and effects of which he was never able to overcome. This caused great disappointment in compelling him to abandon his plans for a college education. Being then disappointed, after some rest, he took up teaching in the public schools, which he followed (as health would permit) for a period of about five years, during which time he devoted considerable time to systematic and ornamental penmanship, and did much ornamental scroll card work and engrossing (a fad of that time). He became instructor in penmanship and organized and taught evening schools in the adjoining towns. He then began the study of art and portraiture, and his natural artistic ability and aptness with a pen enabled him to produce some of his first portraits with pen and ink, one of which he still keeps as a relic of his first effort at a pen portrait, produced in 1882, without instruction or without ever seeing one. He then took up sign writing, which he did for immediate vocation together with portrait work. The sign writing eventually developed into every variety of artistic sign, from the show card in colors with the shading pen to the goldleaf work on wood and glass. In about the year 1887 he opened a studio in Westfield, Pennsylvania, and carried art goods, pictures and mouldings in stock, and did picture framing in connection with the other work, but made a specialty of a high grade free hand solid crayon portrait work, in which he became very proficient, and has produced some of the finest portraits in Tioga county, and had exceptional success under difficult circumstances, where a likeness could only be had by description, dictation, or memory. Much of his work in this line can be found through the county.

About 1905 Mr. Ashcraft took up landscape painting in pastel, which he is still pursuing in connection with the portrait work, and is producing a great variety of pastel
work in landscape, marine, fruit, fish, game, and also the latest fads of firelight and campfire scenes, and rare originals and from nature, which are gaining a wide reputation. These pieces are usually made up to order and sent to different places, and some of the leading cities in the United States. He has work in New York City and in Boston that has been bought or made to order from his studio in Westfield, Pennsylvania. He is a Republican in politics, and a Methodist in religion. He is a member of the K. O. T. M., and also of the K. of H.

He married, May 14, 1891, Ida Adelia, daughter of Alexander W. and Mary Elizabeth (Morehouse) Holley, born in Savona, Steuben county, New York, February 1, 1861,
now living in Westfield. Her grandfather was Solomon S. Holley, who was a soldier in the war of 1812, and a son of John B. Holley, and her father was born in Steuben county, New York, June 29, 1835, and is now living in Westfield. He enlisted in Bath, New York, September 1, 1864. in Company H. 189th Regiment New York Volunteers, and took part in the battles of Hatcher's Run, Gravel Run, Whiteoak Roads, Wilson's Farm, and was present at the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox, and was honorably discharged from the service May 25, 1865. Her mother was born in Tompkins county, New York, March 27, 1839, an( i died in Westfield, May 29, 1908. Their children were Ida Ade- lia, married Frank Hammon Ashcraft, referred to above; Byron W., now living in Osceola. Pennsylvania. Children of Frank Hammon and Ida Adelia (Holley") Ashcraft:
Mary Almira, born January 19, 1894, died in infancy;
lulian Holley, born December 19, 1898.
