Mrs. W. G. Swartz dies in Florida

  Mrs. Ada Virginia Swartz, wife of William G. Swartz and a former 
Altoona resident, died on Friday, August 9, at Eustis, Lake county, 
Florida, following a lengthy illness.  She was 68 years old.  Her 
husband will be remembered as a retired assistant foreman in the 
Altoona brick-laying department of the Pennsylvania railroad.
  The deceased was born at Wayne Court, Virginia, the daughter of 
Colonel and Mrs. James M, Corns.  Early in the life the family moved to 
Altoona, where nearly fifty-six years ago she married Mr. Swartz.  Six 
years ago they removed from the city to Eustis, Florida, where they 
since made their home.  They resided at 500 Twenty-Second avenue, prior 
to moving South.
  Besides her husband, she is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Aida 
Poeth of Orlando and Mrs. George W. Plitt of Pittsburgh, who were at 
her bedside when the end came.  She also leaves four grandchildren and 
one brother, Hiram A. Corns of Vancouver.
  She was a member of the First Baptist church of Altoona.  The funeral 
took place in Eustis, with interment there.
