MRS. JOHN C. SCHWARTZ.

  Mrs. Elizabeth Schwartz, wife of John C. Schwartz, died yesterday 
morning at 8:15 o'clock, in the Altoona hospital.  The deceased lady 
was last Friday operated upon for removal of gall stones.  She was 
apparently doing well up to within an hour of the collapse that ended 
in her death.  Mrs. Schwartz was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles 
Wetzel, both deceased, and was born March 29, 1869, on a farm near 
Pitman, Schuylkill county.  She was the last living daughter in a large 
family and is survived by only one brother, Peter Wetzel, who remains 
on the home farm near Pitman.  In May, 1888, she became the wife of 
John C. Schwartz and with him reared a family of five children, who 
survive as a consolation to the bereaved husband and father.  They are 
Mrs. William Elders and Mrs. Chester Goodman, both of Juniata; Joseph, 
Clara and Anna, at home.  For some seventeen years the family made 
their home in Juniata and the deceased was highly esteemed as a sincere 
Christian woman, a devoted wife and mother and a kindly neighbor.  She 
was active in the membership of Grace United Evangelical church and was 
also a member of the Royal Neighbors' ladies' auxiliary to the order of 
Woodmen, and was a member of the Ladies' auxiliary to the Order of 
Railway Trainmen.  Services over her remains will be conducted by her 
pastor, the Rev. S. P. Remerfi and will be held in the home at 2 
o'clock Wednesday afternoon.  Interment will be made in Grandview 
cemetery.
