- OBITUARY FROM THE "OLNEY DAILY MAIL" NEWSPAPER, 12 December 1950, Olney, Illinois:
"C.E. Ausbrook, Fine Noble Citizen, Passes
Clyde E. Ausbrook, 69, one of the grandest citizens of Noble and Richland County, passed away early this morning at his home in Noble after an extended illness.
Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at two o'clock in the Christian church of Noble with Rev. C.L. Doty in charge. Interment will be in Clay City cemetery. The body, which was taken to the Easley Funeral Home, has been returned to the family home in Noble where friends may call.
Surviving are his wife Agnes, one daughter, Mrs Camilla Peavyhouse of Providence, Ky., two sons, Dr. Eugene Ausbrook of East S. Louis and Wilfred Ausbrook of Peoria and seven grandchildren.
Clyde Ausbrook, who retired May 1947, after 47 years of employment with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, came to Noble forty years ago as depot agent for the railroad, and he remained in that position until his retirement.
His efficient and courteous work with the B and O was recognized by honors accorded him by the railroad on several occasions.
But in addition to his duties for the B & O, Mr. Ausbrook was one of Noble's best citizens. He was an active leader in all community enterprises, was a member of the Noble Lions Club, and his friendly pleasant manner and good common sense made Noble and Richland county a better place in which to live".
