After two years residence at Missoula they went into the farming business at Wapato, Washington, from which they retired in 1941 and took up residence at Yakima, WA until 1960. Because of illness Mrs. Blum has, since 1960, made her home with her son and daughter-in-law, William C. and Ella Blum, at Sunnyside, WA.
