| Notes |
- According to her death certificate, Mary was born in New Florence, Pennsylvania, a small town 10 miles west of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. According to Dr. Frank Johnson, because many members of the family worked for the railroad (her brother Ray was an engineer on the Pennsylvania Railroad), the Ashcom family was known as a "railroad family". Interestingly, she signed her mother's death certificate as Mrs. F Johnston. At that time (May 21, 1920), she was living at 316 Marie Ave. in Avalon, Pennsylvania. Mary later lived on Breading Ave. in Ben Avon, Pennsylvania. Later in her life, she lived with her daughter, Emma Johnson Farmin, and did much of the cooking for Emma's catering business. According to Mary's death notice, she lived at 308 Breading Ave., Ben Avon, Pennsylvania when she died. She died of arterioscleratic heart disease.
The following obituary was published in the February 22, 1961 edition of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
JOHNSON--On Sabbath evening, Feb. 19, 1061, Mary E. Ashcom of 208 Breading Ave., Ben Avon, wife of the late Franklin Johnson; mother of Mrs. Robert W. Sloan of St. Petersburg, Fla.; Mrs. William A. Farmin of Ben Avon; also survived by eight grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. Friends received at McDONALD FUNERAL HOME, 529 California Av., Avalon, where services will be held Thursday morning at 11:30 o'clock. Visitations on Wednesday.
