I purchased the old deed to the plot that Alice is buried in off eBay in January of 2005, and Grace E. Schwertfager purchased the plot that Alice is buried in on August 5th, 1938.

Thanks to Find a Grave member Suzanne Humes Pike for the following information:
"Alice is the daughter of Louis Prescher (b NY) and Frederica Schutt (b Germany).
Grace Elizabeth (Prescher) Schwertfager is Alice's sister.
Alice never married or had any children of record.
Grandmother Caroline is buried at Forest Hill Cemetery in Fredonia, NY (Memorial ID 15741353)."

Thanks to Tina Holtz for researching and supplying the following information:
"Dear Marcus and Kelly,
I took the information you posted regarding the deed
you purchased on ebay and I went to Barker Museum in
town where they have a genealogy room. There was a book
there titled, "Portland Evergreen Cemetery" that was
put together in 1991 by the Chautauqua County
Genealogical Society. I was able to find the lot number that
you provided and with that, I was able to determine who
is buried there. The great thing about this book is
that it also lists the lot owner which showed the name
G. Schwertfager. A woman is listed as being buried in
the plot, Alice Preseher, as it's typed in the book.
I took a picture of the headstone today and I believe
the spellings are different on her last name. I'm
sending a copy of the map to you. If you look closely
and find the number 569, there is a small mark on the
map which indicates exactly where I found the headstone.
There is a picture of the entry in the book I
mentioned and then a picture of the headstone itself.
Enjoy the pics,
Tina"
