- Syracuse Herald, 15 September 1931: Man, 89, is given his first
birthday party at Massena: Massena, Sept. 15: Frank LaShomb, who as near
as he can figure, is 89 years old today, is having the first birthday party of
his life at his home on Maple Ridge, near Massena Center, about 10 miles from
Massena. Many relatives and friends gathered at the home today to aid in the
celebration of the event. The only way he can reckon his age is that his
parents stated that when the war broke out in 1861 he was 19 years old and that
he was born in mid-September. That would make him 89 years old. He was born
near his present home and is a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Peter LaShomb.

Allen Lashomb: Potsdam Courier (NY), 18 August 1943: Allen LaShomb Dies as Result of Injuries - Allen LaShomb, 65, an employee of the Strader farm at Eben, died in Potsdam hospital Sunday of bronchial pneumonia, secondary to a shock resulting from injuries received the previous Thursday when he was struck by an automobile while walking on the Potsdam-Canton road about two miles from this village. LaShomb was apparently walking from Potsdam to Eben when he was struck by a car operated by Robert Woods, 29, of Canton who with fellow employees was enroute to work at the Massena Aluminum plant. Others in the car at the time of the accident were Harold Peters, Winfred Bascom and Leroy Moore, all of Canton. According to investigation, the approach of lights from truck transports were approaching Woods and it was raining, making it impossible for Woods to see the pedestrian. The front fender struck the man, hurling him into the air. The right wing glass of the car was broken by the impact. Woods stopped and summoned Police Officer Clarence Gardner and an ambulance from this village. Immediately following the accident Donald Gale, 21, of this village stopped at the scene and with the aid of the other men, placed LaShomb in the Gale car and rushed him to Potsdam hospital. Mr. LaShomb suffered a crushed leg, internal injuries and head wounds. Several blood transfusions were given in an effort to save his life.
