Biography

Dr. A. S. Ashton early gave evidence of a predilection for medicine and was allowed to encourage his leaning toward a professional career, subsequently graduating from Washington and Jefferson College and the Cincinnati Medical College. Returning to Piqua, with his brothers William and Daniel, he founded the drug business of Ashton Brothers, with which he was connected during the remainder of his life, although he also was engaged in practice and was one of the best known and most greatly esteemed physicians of his day in this locality. He and his wife were the parents of two children: William; and Mrs. J. T. Haynes, of Sandusky, Ohio.
