ALICE LEPLEY BLUME

  Mrs. Alice Lepley Blume, wife of William Blume, died at the home of her 
daughter, Mrs. Hines, in York, Pa., Tuesday evening, after a short illness.  She 
was aged 74 years and was a native of Wellersburg, a daughter of Valentine and 
Marie (Baker) Lepley.  Mr. and Mrs. Blume were residents of Meyersdale for many 
years.  Mr. Blume was a carpenter and was employed by the Meyersdale Planing 
Mill for many years.
  Mrs. Blume is survived by her husband who is now about 80 years of age.  They 
were a very highly respected couple and childless until they adopted a baby 
daughter of Joseph Mankameyer upon the death of her mother.  No parents ever had 
a more worthy and devoted daughter than Emma Blume as she was known.  After her 
marriage she had her aged foster parents move to York to make their home with 
her and her husband until the end of their days.
  Funeral Director J. L. Tressler of Meyersdale will bring Mrs. Blume's body to 
the home of Clifford Bittner at Pleasant Unity today (Thursday).  Funeral 
services will be held in the White Oak Reformed Church, Friday, at 10 a.m., 
followed by interment in the White Oak Cemetery.
