The Herald, Piedmont, West Virginia, Thu 10 Aug 1950: 
"Requiem mass was celebrated Tuesday morning at St. Peter's Catholic 
church, Westernport, for Charles W. Lashorn, of LaVale, formerly of 
Piedmont, who died Saturday night in Memorial hospital, Cumberland. 
Pallbearers were Carl H. Ledlow, of Chicago; Claude and Charles Kight, 
Henry Johnson, Robert Jackson and George Keller. Rev. John U. Lyness, 
of St. Patrick's church, led a recitation of the Rosary Tuesday night 
at the Kight funeral home in Cumberland. Mr. Lashorn died an hour 
after being admitted to the hospital. He had moved to LaVale from 214 
Pulaski street, Cumberland, only two days before his death. A native 
of Piedmont, he was a son of the late Joseph and Matilda Dorsey 
Lashorn. He was a member of St. Patrick's Catholic church. Before 
moving to Cumberland 13 years ago, he was a member of St. Peter's 
Catholic church and a member of the Holy Name society. Lashorn was an 
outstanding player on the Piedmont high school basketball team from 
1913 to 1916 and participated in football and basketball both in and 
out of school. He was also prominent in many local talent minstrel 
shows that were held in the opera house. Local men who participated 
with him in these minstrel shows acted as pallbearers at the funeral. 
Surviving Mr. Lashorn are his wife, the former Alice Harden; two 
daughters, Mrs. Charles Young, Patterson, N.J., and Mrs. Robert 
Kuhlman, of Cumberland; two sons, Charles J. Lashorn, Jr., Kansas 
City, Mo., and Robert L. Lashorn, Detroit."
