ASHLEY, JOEL G. Was born in Pennsylvania August 2, 1831. When he was six years of age he, with his grandfather,
moved to Wisconsin, where thirteen years were spent. While here he leaned the carpenter's trade. In 1850 he came
to California, and spent about four years in the mines; then engaged in butchering, which he followed at different
places until 1860. He then went to the Humboldt Mines in Nevada, where mining was followed for about two years.
We next find Mr. Ashley engaged in butchering in Folsom, Sacramento County, for about one year. He then engaged
in carpentering at Colfax, Placer County, until 1869, when he came to Lake County. After residing on rented farms
for about four years, he settled on his present place, consisting of one hundred and seventy eight acres, located
about seven and one half miles south of Lower Lake. Here he is engaged in farming and wool growing. Mr. Ashley
married January 1, 1860, Miss Catherine S. Whiteside, a native of Illinois. They have four living children: William
I., Alice M., Charles R., and Ida M., and have lost one, David B.
