Mrs Sophia T Alley, 79, a former one-room school teacher in the Towns of Fishkill and LaGrange, died Thursday, Nov 4, in the Fairfax Hospital, Falls Church, Va, after having been in failing health for several months. Mrs Alley was the mother of C Edwin Alley, United Press International photographer, and a former Poughkeepsie Newspapers Inc sports editor and photographer. Mr Alley, his wife Caroline, and their son Edward live at 9701 Staton Drive, Fairfax.  Mrs Alley had made her home with them for the last four years. Prior to that time she had resided at 80 Grand Ave, here, and at Verbank in the Town of Union Vale. The daughter of the late Mr and Mrs John Thorne, Glenham, Mrs Alley was born on June 7, 1885. She taught in one room schools in Glenham, and Arthursburg and on July 4, 1907, was married to the late J Edward Alley, a Town of LaGrange farmer. Thereafter she worked for both Luckey, Platt and Co and the Wallace Co. In her earlier years she had been a member of the LaGrangeville Methodist Church. From the late 1940s until 1960 she lived at Verbank while continuing to own and maintain her 80 Grand Ave home.  In Verbank, she became a member of the Verbank Methodist Church and its affiliated Woman's Society for Christian Service. At her 75th birthday observance Mrs Alley was surprised to receive cards and greetings from Mrs Mamie Eisenhower, then vice President Nixon, the then Sen Keating and several other high government officials. They learned of the birthday through her son, who for years has been assigned to the White House and Capitol Hill by UPI. In addition to her son, Mrs Alley is survived by several relatives in the area, including four nephews, Eugene Champlin, George Thorn and Richard Townsend, Poughkeepsie, and Allen Champlin, Glenham, and a niece Mrs Frank Collins, also of Glenham.
