In the early 1940's, Ernest Aschoff purchased the Hurlburt Schoolhouse, and remodeled it into a home with the help of his brother-in-law, Harry Bramhall. Earnest's wife died in 1943 at the age of 81. He continued to live at the Hurlburt location until he suffered a stroke in the early 1950's. He died in 1954 at age 78. Upon graduating from high school, Ernest and Ellen's son, Otto Ashoff married a classmate, but the marriage was short lived. He remarried and had one daughter. Otto Ashoff died in the early 90's. The Mackaness family purchased the Ashoff property, which included the remodeled "new" Hurlburt Grade School. The Mackaness family eventually sold and moved to another location in Corbett. The "school" continues to be a residence for the current owners. These facts and more are found in Living East of the Sandy, Volume 2 by Clarence Mershon.
