My grandmother's brother, Fred William Blum, was born in Summit, Fayette Co., PA on 9 March 1886 and died 30 November 1939 in Steubenville. Are there any Blum descendants still in this area? The birth and death date are the only info I have on Fred. (some of the family used the name Bloom) It may have been his daughter that was killed when her house exploded in Tiltonsville. This had to be in the 30s or 40s. Does anyone remember this? She and her mother went shopping in Wheeling and when they returned home the accident occurred. My uncle remembered only this much of the story, no names. He thought Fred Blum (Bloom) may also have had two sons.
