Rosenberg Herald, November 21, 1924:
Thursday morning, November 13, 1924, occurred the death of Mr. August Blume, one of Rosenberg's prominent citizens, after an illness of several weeks of pneumonia.
August Blume was born July 2, 1948 in Seitz, Province Saxon, Germany. He became a citizen of the United States in 1887 in Akron, Ohio, and has always been found loyal to this great country of ours. He came to Orchard, Texas with his family in 1894, and has resided in Fort Bend County since that date, and could talk with great interest of the many improvements since his coming to this section. He was a good Christian gentleman, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a loyal friend; a greater tribute could not be given him.
In 1876, he was united in marriage to Miss Emma Meizner, and to this union five children were born, Mrs. Pauline Valentine of Akron, Ohio; Mrs. Marie Roper, Orchard, Texas; Mrs. Clara Wittig of Pierce, Texas; and Charlie and Fred Blume of Rosenberg, Texas, all of whom were with him when he passed away, except Mrs. Valentine of Akron who could not be present. His wife preceded him in death 30 years ago in Akron, Ohio,
He was married again in 1894 to Mrs. Katherine Gabel who had three daughters, Mrs. Mary Sager, Orchard; Mrs. Elizabeth Blume, Rosenberg; and Mrs. Christine Conner of Houston. He is also survived by 16 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at the home Friday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, Rev. Hopman of the Rosenberg Memorial M.E. Church officiating. Interment was made in the W.O.W. Cemetery. Impressive services at the grave were conducted by the Odd Fellow Lodge of this city. Deceased had been a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge since 1885 and was one of the most faithful members of this lodge. A large concourse of relatives and friends were present to pay tribute to this worthy gentleman. The floral offerings were many and beautiful which attested to the high esteem in which he was held.
The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of their many friends in this section in their time of sorrow.
