C. E. Asay, D. D. S., of Visalia, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 
1, 1853, the son of Dr. A. M. Asay, who practiced dentistry for forty years. Our 
subject, the youngest of six children, received his literary education in the 
public schools of Philadelphia, and February 28, 1874, graduated at the 
Pennsylvania Dental College. He began as office boy for his father, and hence 
had a practical knowledge of dentistry before attending college. After his 
graduation he practiced his profession in the East until 1880, when he came to 
Visalia, where he formed a partnership with his brother, J. L. Asay, M. D., now 
of San Jose. Since coming to Visalia, Dr. Asay has built up a large, lucrative 
and constantly increasing practice. His dental rooms are in the Holt Block, 
opposite the Palace Hotel, and his residence is located on North street.

Dr. Asay was married in 1882, to Miss Malinda Newell, a native of California, 
and daughter of Elza Newell, a wealthy farmer of Tulare County. They have one 
child, Wallace E.
