ASKWITH, WILLIAM S   (-1927)   USA/NE   OMAHA
(Pacific Grove Daily Review January 8, 1927)

Word was received here yesterday of the death of Comrade W.S. Askwith at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. Anna Lawrence, in Long Beach on Thursday [January 6].  Mr. and Mrs. Askwith 
have been visiting with their daughter in the south over the holidays and Mr. Askwith’s death 
comes as a shock to all his friends here.
  Comrade Askwith was a loved and honored member of the local corps of Veterans of the 
Grand Army of the Republic and will be long remembered for the active part he took in patriotic 
ceremonials in the Grove.  Mr. Askwith was a man of brilliant mind and lovable personality.  He 
will be greatly missed by his few remaining comrades here and by all his many friends.
  Mr. Askwith leaves top mourn his passing his widow, Mrs. Askwith, who is now with her daughter 
in Long Beach, his son, Mr. H.S. Askwith, of Pacific Grove, and his sister, Mrs. Susan A Sheeler, who 
shared his home here in the Grove.
  The deceased will be buried in his old home town of Omaha.
