ASHTON H. COLDHAM, a rising young attorney-at-law of Toledo, has his office at No. 6 Drummond Block. He is one of the native sons of this city, his birth having occurred within its limits, Mar. 9, 1862, and his entire life history has been interwoven with that of Toledo. He is Secretary of the Toledo Bar Association, and has been actively engaged in practice here for the past eleven years with a great deal of success.
The father of A. H. Coldham, Dr. James Coldham, was one of the foremost physicians and surgeons of teh city, and was a pioneer, as he located here in 1844. He conducted a large and successful practice until shortly before his death, which occurred in 1892. He was much beloved and esteemed by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, and his death was felt to be a public loss. His wife, who bore the name of Anna Williams before her marriage, by her union became the mother of five children, two sons and three daughters. The other son, Dr. W. W. Coldham, is represented elsewhere in this volume.
Ashton H. Coldham is the second in order of birth in his parents’ family. He obtained a good public-school education, and supplemented his elementary knowledge by a course of training at the Upper Canada College of Toronto, from which celebrated institution he graduated in 1881. Subsequently he went to New York City, where he took up legal studies, and after passing a severe examination was admitted to the Bar, before the Supreme Court at Rochester, in 1884. Returning then to his native city, he further pursued his legal studies and acquitted himself with honor at the examinations he sustained before the Supreme Court of Ohio, which convened at Columbus, and which formally pronounced him a member of the Ohio Bar.
June 3, 1891, Ashton H. Coldham and Miss Daisy B. Brainard were married at the home of the bride’s parents in this city. Her father is W. S. Brainard, one of the most prominent business men of Ohio, and a well known and respected citizen. Mrs. Coldham enjoyed good educational advantages, and is a most charming and agreeable lady. The residence of our esteemed subject and wife is at No. 1932 Vermont Avenue, where their surroundings bespeak their literary and cultivated taste. In politics Mr. Coldham is identified with the Democratic party.
