A TOWN IS BORN
The first settlers who came to Ashland, and, in fact, to Saunders County, were Joseph Stambaugh, his wife, and three small children. They stayed one month because of the 'unseasonable weather': August of 1856. In March of 1857, Reuben Warbritton and his wife, John Aughe
and the Stambaugh family came, and the men staked out claims and built homes. The Staumbaugh home, 17 X 17 feet,

reportedly stood on the corner of 13th and Silver Streets. The other two homes were 10 X 12 feet; all were made of sod; and all were located in Section 35. In June, 1857, Harrison Ramsey settled nearby and was the father of the first born settler in the county. The second child was the Stambaugh's fourth, their son, John. The Stambaughs had 10 children who survived the rigors of pioneering.
