Walter and Olive Ashby--One of the events oldest son Jim likes to recall about his dad, Walter Ashby, is the day he came home with his first car. "I don't think Dad had ever driven a car before," Jim said. "We were all out in the pasture (at the homestead near Burdett) watching for him to come from Yuma with the Model T. When we saw him coming across the prairie, he was sitting very straight and very proud. But by the time he came to the gate near our house, he was hollering "Whoa, Whoa," and the Model T tore right through the wire fence." It was one of many fun times for the family after they arrived in Colorado in 1908.

Walter Ashby was born Oct. 25, 1874, at Sloan, Iowa, the son of William and Eliza Farley Ashby. Florence Olive Dee was born May 2, 1891, in Guthrie Center, Iowa, the daughter of James and Nancy Emeline McGhee Dee. Walter and Olive were married Dec. 20, 1906, in Sioux City, Iowa, and came to the Burdett community two years later. They moved to Sterling in 1917 where Walt was employed by Great Western Sugar Co. He reitred from the sugar company in 1940. Walt died Sept. 10, 1953, and Mrs. Ashby passed away May 28, 1971. Their children were sons James, Harold, Walter Bernard and Elton and daughters Erma Curtis and Leone Reese. Two children died in infancy. (This obit and death record lists place of birth as Sloan, Iowa; however, a copy of Walter's birth record lists Tama, Iowa, as place of birth. This coincides with census dates and birth place of siblings and parents)
