DORA (BEER) ALTER
Death of Mrs. Alter is a Shock
Death on the eve of the holiday season has cast its pall on the home
of Oscar A. Alter, one of the city's best known residents. Mrs. Alter's
death occurred at the hospital at 8:30 Saturday evening almost at the
same hour that death claimed John Schuette, a relative of Mr. Alter.
Although ill for some time, Mrs. Alter's condition had becoming alarming
only during the past week and she had been at the hospital only ten days
when the end came. The announcement of her death came as a shock to the
community.
Mrs. Alter, nee Dora Beer, was a lifelong resident of Manitowoc, having
been born in this city September 8, 1860, in a building in the same block
where, for 30 years, Mr. and Mrs. Alter have made their home, their
residence at 813 York Street being directly opposite to the building in
which Mrs. Alter was born. Decedent attended the local schools, graduated
here and from the Oshkosh normal and for some years previous to her
marriage was a teacher in the third ward and second ward schools. She was
married in 1884 to Oscar A. Alter, the husband who, with two sons, Erwin
of L'anse, Mich., and Eugene of Milwaukee, survive here. One sister, Mrs.
John Ornes of Minneapolis also survives.
Mrs. Alter, while essentially a home woman, her home and family being her
first thought, had taken an active interest in literary work and particularly
in the Clio Club of which she served as president for several years, retiring
from active association only when her health failed her. She was charitable
and for many years was prominently identified with the work of the South Side
Ladies Aid of which she was also president for a number of terms. A woman of
gentle refinement, quiet and unassuming, she was endeared to a circle of
friends who knew her generous nature and high character and who sincerely
mourn her loss with a deep sense of appreciation of her life and character.
Her funeral will be held tomorrow, Tuesday afternoon, from the home on York
Street at 3 o'clock with the services conducted at the cemetery chapel by the
Rev. M.S. Axtell. Mrs. William Borcherdt and Miss Mathilda Schmidt will sing.
