HENRY T. DOM

  Henry T. Dom, 83, a retired steel worker, who had lived in Johnstown for more 
than 50 years, died Sunday evening at his home on Berkley Road, Upper Yoder 
Township, Cambria County.
  Born November 1, 1857, in Dixon, Ill., Henry Dom was a son of Oliver and 
Hannah (Lepley) Dom, and as a young man came east to make his home in 
Williamsport, Md.  He was united in marriage with Miss Bettie Henry on September 
15, 1886, in Winchester, Va., and the couple first made their home at Williams 
Station near Hyndman.  After living there for one year, during which time Mr. 
Dom was engaged in the manufacture of fire brick, they moved to Meyersdale, 
where he entered the sawmill business.  The family moved to Johnstown following 
the flood of 1889, and for nine years he was employed as a car inspector for the 
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad with headquarters in Johnstown.
  He then started to work in the Cambria steel plant where he became foreman of 
the Franklin track repair section.  Mr. Dom was retired 14 years ago.
  His wife preceded him to the grave on September 13, 1939.  Surviving are the 
following children: Miss Mary Lou Dom, Pittsburgh; Mrs. Roy C. Stormer, Mrs. 
Forest Roseman, John Dom, Mrs. Harry K. Eakle, Mrs. Lloyd Alwine, Mrs. Thomas 
Briggs, Harry T. Dom, Jr., all residents of Johnstown and vicinity, and Mrs. 
Charles Chilcote, of Upper Darby, Philadelphia.  There are ten grandchildren and 
five great-grandchildren.
  Oliver Dom, a brother of the deceased, lives in Dawson, and a sister, Mrs. 
Lillian Meese, widow of Prof. John D. Meese, who died during the time that he 
was superintendent of the California State Normal School, resides in Pittsburgh.
  Edgar Klingaman, Meyers Avenue, was a nephew of the deceased, and Louis 
("Gussie") Dom, of pleasant memory, uncle of the deceased, was for a number of 
years in the employ of the Savage Fire Brick Company in their plant located at 
Keystone Junction.
  Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Dom home, 
with the Rev. L. H. Brumbaugh, pastor of the Roxbury Church of the Brethren, 
Johnstown, of which the deceased was a member, officiating.  Interment was made 
in Berkley Cemetery.
