Miss Alma Berniece Blalock, 18 year old student at Muskogee School for the Blind and daughter of Arlie H. Blalock, died early Friday morning in the Baptist Hospital at Muskogee. She had been ill only about a week.
Although blind, Miss Blalock had majored in pipe organ, piano and voice at the school and would have graduated this spring. She was hoping to continue her studies through a scholarship. A student at the school for the blind, since she was 6 years old, Miss Blalock had already chosen and prepared her musical numbers for a recital in April, prior to her graduation.
Home during the Christmas holidays, Alma Berniece presented a musical program at the Maywood Christian Church, of which she was a member.
She was born here September 24, 1921. Her father is a machine man for Tibbs-Dorsey Manufacturing Company. Other survivors include a sister, Miss Adelia Blalock and a brother, Wallace Blalock, both of the home and her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Blalock and Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Murphy.
Rites have tentatively been set for 2:00 p.m. Monday in the Guardian Chapel with burial in Rose Hill Cemetery.
