A lengthy article about Asher appears in the 1919 publication, MAINE: A HISTORY, Vol. 4, pages 322-323 (op.cit.). It tells of how Asher was exceedingly successful in the livery business in Skowhegan and, a few years later, in Farmington. A great fire in 1886 destroyed his stables, but he soon rebuilt them. His new stable measured 35 feet in width and 145 feet in length. Nearby, he built "a very handsome house, one of the noticeable places of the village."
For a few years, Asher devoted his time to farming, and the last years of his life were spent at both enterprises. During those years, Asher entered many of his horses in area horse races. For 10 years he was the horse race starter at the Franklin County Fair.
Asher was naturally a hard worker. It was said by his doctor that he "used up his strength" by working so hard, and that Asher might have lived longer had he taken things more easily.
