CLYDE C. ASHCOM,
TRIBUNE REPORTER,
DIES AT AGE 46
Native of Johnstown, Had
Long Been Engaged in
Advertising Field
WAS IN WORLD WAR
Clyde Cramer Ashcom, 46, veteran newspaper and advertising writer, died at 10:30 o'clock last night at his home, 914 Vickroy Avenue, Ferndale. He had been ill many months, and on March 20 was stricken with a cerebral embolism incident to shock of the St. Patrick's Day Flood. While not bedfast, he had been incapacitated ever since, but apparently had been improving in the past two weeks. A change for the worst came yesterday afternoon. A heart condition was the primary cause of death.
Mr. Ashcom was born October 14, 1890, at the Ashcom homestead, 173 D Street, Morrellville, a son of William Smelker Ashcom, deceased, and Mrs. Annie (Cramer) Ashcom, now of Somerset, who recently observed her 76th birthday anniversary. Clyde was the youngest of a family of four - Laurence B. Ashcom, city editor of The Tribune, residing at 933 South Avenue, Westmont; J. Edwin Ashcom, 1336 Good Street, Wilson Heights, and Maude E., wife of Milton C. Bole of South Center Avenue, Somerset. William S. Ashcom, father of the deceased, who died in 1917, was a veteran of the Civil War, serving in Company E, 21st Pennsylvania Calvary. Clyde C. Ashcom, at the time advertising manager of the Johnstown Automobile Company, volunteered for service in the World War and was assigned to the aviation corps, being sent to Detroit where he became a sergeant in one of the plants manufacturing liberty motors.
While in army service he met Miss Eva Larzelere, to who he was married 16 years ago, in Detroit. Mrs. Ashcom survives. Following the World War, after a brief residence in Johnstown, Clyde Ashcom returned to Detroit to associate with the advertising department of General Motors. Later he was associated with the Chrysler and Pontiac advertising agencies there. Three years ago he returned to Johnstown to resume work in the newspaper field, on the Morning Tribune, later becoming associated with the reportorial staff of the Democrat and more recently The Tribune.
As a boy of 16 Clyde C. Ashcom went to Greensburg Press, returning to Johnstown to join the Democrat staff and later became a reporter for the Johnstown Tribune. After long service in this line of work he entered the advertising field.
Mr. Ashcom was a member of the Ohio Street Evangelical Church and of Johnstown Post 294, American Legion. The body has been removed to the H. M. Picking & Sons mortuary, Somerset Street, where it may be viewed. Funeral services will be conducted at the Picking parlors at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon by Rev. C. W. Winch, deceased's pastor. Internment will be in Grandview Cemetery.
