EDMUND H. REPPERT

  Edmund H. Reppert, 50, prominent coal operator of Flemington, West Va., died 
Tuesday morning at his home after an illness of two days.  Death was due to 
pneumonia.  He was president of the Reppert Coal Company which a year ago was 
expanded to include the purchase of the Bethlehem, Fairmont Coal Company on the 
outskirts of Shinston, West Va.
  He was a nephew and namesake of the late Judge E. H. Reppert of Uniontown.  
His wife, the former Miss Beulah Getty of Grantsville, Md., survives, also five 
children, his father, A. E. Reppert of Frostburg, and a brother.   Two sons are 
in the service, one an ensign in the U.S. Navy somewhere on the Pacific.
  Mrs. Reppert's mother, Mrs. Sara R. Getty, of the Somerset American editorial 
staff, left Somerset Thursday morning to attend the funeral of her son-in-law.
