Message Board Post:
I'm looking for information on Willard, Mabel and Delphine Ashby who lived in
Sparks/Reno in the thirties/forties, possibly. Here is all I know:
Willard Bryant Ashby, born Jan 13 1900 in Arkansas, died 1964 in Nevada. He also signed a
draft card, dated September 12 1918, listing him at the same address, with grey eyes and
dark brown hair, weighing 130 and being 5'6". In the 1930 census for Los Angeles,
CA, Clarence and Winifred are living with him and his wife Mabel. Delphine was also
living with them.
Willard is also present on ships' passenger logs going from Los Angeles to Honolulu
and back again with his wife Mabel Jackson (married in 1923) and daughter Delphine (born
1929). They went to Honolulu in December 21 1939 on the S.S. Matsonia. They returned from
Honolulu April 19 1940 on the S.S. LURLINE VOY 160. Willard was 40, Mabel 36 and Delphine
10 years old. Delphine Patricia Ashby only appears here and in high school in Nevada,
where she danced in the Nutcracker Suite and was initiated into the Fireside Circle of
Sparks High School.
Willard was the second son of Alonzo and Amanda Ashby.
