Donald Leo Lashomb: Democrat and Chronicle (Rochester, NY), Monday, 20 October 1952: (photo) Rheumatic fever claimed another victim this weekend when a 24-year-old Rochester husband and father died. Donald LaShomb, 13 Alden Rd., passed away late Saturday night (Oct. 18, 1952) in Veterans Hospital, Buffalo, of a rheumatic heart condition. He is survived by a 24-year-old wife, Joyce Hovey LaShomb, and a 22-month-old son, David. Mr. LaShomb had been ill since April, when he was stricken for the fourth time with rheumatic fever. He was in General Hospital for medical treatment until last Thursday, when he was taken to Buffalo. He said good night to several members of his family who were visiting him at 9:15 o'clock. He died an hour and a half later. His last attack of rheumatic fever, before the fatal one, was in 1945, after he was discharged from the Navy after eight months of wartime service. He arrived home with influenza. This was followed by ear trouble, the mumps and finally rheumatic fever. He was ill nearly a year. When he regained his health, he married and started work in the color print department at Eastman Kodak Company, where he was employed until last April. He first had rheumatic fever when he was 9 1/2 years old. He was ill again when 16. A native Rochesterian, born Aug. 23, 1928, he attended Schools 42 and 30 and was a pupil at Jefferson and Charlotte High Schools. It was while he was in the latter that he enlisted in the Navy. After training at what was then Sampson Naval Base he went to San Diego Hospital for further instruction as a hospital corpsman. The LaShombs lived in a new home, purchased four years ago, which they decorated themselves. Mr. LaShomb had just built a garage on the property when he became ill. He was a bowler and loved to fish and hunt, but all his activities were curtailed because of his heart condition. He was a member of the Lake Side Presbyterian Church. He leaves, besides his wife and son, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leo LaShomb, 232 Chili Ave., and two brothers, Gary and Jacques. Funeral services will be Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Hedge Memorial Chapel, University Ave.
