  • Notes 
    • According to an article in the December 23, 1910 edition of The Washington (D.C.) Times, Charles and his wife, Margaret, were named as defendants in a lawsuit brought by Henry Rieman, alleging that the defendants alienated the affection of Mr. Rieman's wife, Ida Child Rieman, Margaret's sister.

      The following obituary was published in the Baltimore Sun and was available on Ancestry.com in 2015:

      CHARLES A. ASHCOM

      Charles Abner Ashcom, an expert accountant, whose home was at Ruxton, Md., but who maintained offices in the Maryland Trust Building, in this city, died in a hospital at Martinsburg, W. Va., yesterday of septicemia, following an illness of one week, states a dispatch from that place to THE SUN. He was engaged in professional work there when attacked.

      He was a son of the late Nathaniel C. Ashcom, of Baltimore, and a great-grandson of Sir Roger Ashcom, who was dean of the medical department of Oxford University, England. He was 46 years old and is survived by his widow, who was Miss Margaret Child, of Baltimore, and two little sons. He was a brother of Miss Minnie Emily Ashcom and Miss Edith Ashcom, of Baltimore, and Nathaniel C. Ashcom of Brookline, Mass. The remains will be brought to Baltimore for burial.

      According to Find a Grave, the inscription on Charles' tombstone reads "Son of Nathaniel and Emily J.".
