ALICE BLUBAUGH

Ended Her Life by Own Hand

  URSINA - Sept. 23 - One of the saddest events to happen here for some time 
occurred last Friday evening about 5:30 p.m. when Miss Alice Blubaugh ended her 
life with a bullet through the temple.  Miss Blubaugh had been in bad health for 
the past eight months, and this was believed to have been the cause of her rash 
act.  She was born August 24th, 1885 at Ursina, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Hiram Blubaugh, and was aged 46 years and 25 days.  For the past thirty years 
she had made her home with her uncle, Harvey Blubaugh, acting as his 
housekeeper.  She is survived by six sisters and three brothers, as follows:  
Mrs. Anna Critchfield, Joe Blubaugh and John Blubaugh, Ursina; Mrs. Jennie 
Gibbons and Edward Blubaugh, Connellsville; Mrs. Catherine Rise, Somerset; Mrs. 
Stella Kregar, New Brighton; Mrs. Ellen Keslar, Sharpsburg, and Mrs. Dorothy 
Batholomew, Confluence.
  Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2:00 p.m., at the home of her 
parents near Ursina, Rev. Daniel E. Hartman of the Confluence Baptist Church 
officiating.  Interment in Ursina Cemetery.
