Earl Jeremiah Lashomb:  The Minneapolis Journal (Minneapolis, MN), Sunday, 16 January 1938:  Second Man Shot in Gunfight with Detectives Dies - Earl La Shomb, 26-year-old alleged bandit wounded in a gun battle with St. Paul detectives Tuesday in which a companion was killed and a detective was wounded, died last night in Ancker hospital.  St. Paul reports said they were unable to question La Shomb concerning his activities with the gang which is believed responsible for several recent holdups and car thefts in that city.  La Shomb never fully regained consciousness, hospital attendants said.  Richard Fortuna, 22, captured in the gun fight, and only remaining survivor of the gang, was still undergoing police questioning yesterday.  Frank Van Dorn, 30, third member of the gang, died a short time after the shooting, which occurred in a rifle range at 477 St. Peter street, St. Paul, following a filling station holdup.  La Shomb, who lived at 412 Aurora avenue, St. Paul, is survived by his widow and two sons.

Leonard Oliver Lashomb:  Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN), Saturday, 30 October 1993:  LaShomb, Leonard O., on Oct. 28, age 72, res. Roseville.  Funeral at Mueller-Bies Funeral Home North Chapel on Monday, Nov. 1, 10 am.  Interment Elmhurst Cemetery.  Visitation Sunday, 3-6 p.m.  Retired Executive Vice President of the Minnesota AFL-CIO.  Memorials preferred to Alzheimer's Association.

- Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN), Tuesday, 2 November 1993:  Leonard LaShomb, 72, retired executive vice president of the AFL-CIO, died of complications from Alzheimer's disease and cancer Thursday at the Minneapolis Veterans Medical Center.  After serving in the Army Air Corps in World War II, he returned to South St. Paul and worked for Swift & Co.  He became a member of United Packinghouse Workers of America Local 167.  In 1956 he was elected district vice president of the recently merged AFL and CIO.  Two years later he was named to head the state labor organization's political arm, the Committee on Political Education (COPE).  In 1966 he was named executive vice president, a position he held until retiring in 1979.  His wife, Sophie, said he promoted equal rights for all employees, a stance exemplified in his opposition to a bill requiring a deposit on beverage bottles and cans.  Glassmakers and steelworkers unions were against it because they said it would cost their members jobs.  LaShomb and others helped defeat the bill.  Besides his wife, he is survived by two daughters, Nancy Kemp, of Mendota Heights, and Laurie Lindell, of Atlanta.  Services were held Monday at Mueller-Bies Funeral Home in Roseville.
