      NATHANIEL ASHCOM

      Mr. Nathaniel Ashcom, for many years a widely known live stock broker of this city, died yesterday morning at his home, 1517 West Lexington street, of pneumonia, after an illness of five days.

      Had Mr. Ashcom lived until Saturday next he would have been sixty-eight years old. He was born at Centreville, Queen Anne's county, and was a son of the late Thomas Ashcom, a successful farmer. For the past forty years he had lived in this city, conducting until his retirement a few years ago a live stock brokerage business. He was recognized as an authority on sheep especially, and bought largely for farmers on the Eastern Shore, where he was well known.

      About thirty-three year ago Mr. Ashcom married Miss Emily Van Fossen, of Duncannon, Perry county, Pa. She survives him with four children, two daughters and two sons. Misses Nellie and Minnie Ashcom are the daughters, and the sons are Messrs. Charles and Clarence Ashcom, the latter being now a resident of Pittsburg, where is secretary to Mr. John Barron, superintendent of the Pittsburgh division of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The deceased was member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
