LINCOLN
- On Sunday, May 3, friends, family and the community on the whole
are invited to spend the afternoon with Mae Snyder-Blaum as she
prepares to celebrate her 95th birthday. An open house will be held
from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Friendship Manor in Mae’s honor.

May was born May 10, 1920. Her parents were Newton and Beulah
Snyder. She grew up with a sister, Doris who is now deceased.
Mae attended nurses training at the Deaconess Hospital on 7th Street
in Lincoln. She graduated in May of 1943, but stayed on at the
hospital as the Supervisor Nurse of the first floor.
Mae has many memories of the Sisters who operated the hospital and
the co-workers who became dear friends.
She met her husband Arthur Blaum at Deaconess when he was a patient
recovering from surgery for appendicitis. Arthur was enlisted in the
U.S. Air force and served his country during World War II. When the
war was over, he proposed to Mae and they were married on January
18, 1948.
Mae has collected hundreds of wonderful memories in her 95 years,
and she would enjoy visiting with everyone and sharing memories of
the days at Deaconess and Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital as well
as her life on the farm.

Some special guests have already promised to attend and share their stories of
time spent with Mae.
It is hoped that everyone who knows Mae will stop in on Sunday and enjoy a time
of cake and punch and great story telling.
Mae has also requested only your presence. No gifts please.
