Biography

WILLIAM ASA WHITCOMB, known as "Ace," was a farmer and lived all of his life in Clinton County near Hillisburg and Michigantown, Indiana, except for the few years spent in Texas and Kansas when he took his wife and son by covered wagon to Texas in 1883. They homesteaded in Jack Co. where the second child was born. Four years later he moved the family to Pratt County, Kansas, at the time that the U.S. Government was removing all Indians to a reservation in Oklahoma. "Ace" and family left Kansas in about 1890 because of crop failures. His wife and four children re turned to Indiana by train while he, driving the cattle and horses, arrived much later. In 1905 Asa bought the farm that had belonged to his parents and the family lived there until about 1917. Ace was a member of the Redmen's Lodge and the family attended the Church of God near Hillisburg. Both he and Rachel loved music and he played the violin.
