Alverda Schwartz was born April 22, 1894, and died of diphtheria at 12.30 o'clock Saturday afternoon, February 3, 1900, aged 5 years, 9 months and 10 days. The funeral which was private, took place yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, from the residence of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Boyer, 1510 Thirteenth street, with whom she had lived the whole term of her short life. The interment was in Fairview cemetery. During her little journey in the world she won the affection of her friends by her sprightly ways, and all who knew the child felt a sense of personal bereavement when they heard the announcement of her death.
