Asa came to Brimfield, MA, as a young doctor, where he achieved note
for his handling of a spotted fever epidemic. Marrying into the
still socially prominent Danielson family could only have helped his
position. He and his wife Sarah lived in the Danielson's hilltop
home. According to Brimfield vital records, he died "of
Starvation by reason of Insanity".
