MARGARET ALTER

MRS. ALTER, NEE SCHUETTE, DIES, AT AGE OF 80
Widow of Eugene Alter, Sister of Geo. and Aug. Schuette
Mrs. Martha Alter, widow of Eugene Alter, died at her home at 624 North
Tenth street, at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, aged eighty years. The
spark of life had flickered low for several days and the announcement of
Mrs. Alter's death was not unexpected. The death in recent months of a
sister and brother and two other near relatives had weighed upon Mrs.
Alter and undoubtedly affected her condition.
With the passing of Mrs. Alter, another of the pioneer residents of the
city is called. Born at Delmanhorst, Oldenburg, Germany, February 3, 1840,
Mrs. Alter came to Wisconsin with her parents in 1848 and a year later,
the family located in this city. Deceased was a sister of the late John
Schuette, whose death occurred in Decmeber, and of Mrs. Bloquelle, who
passed away two years ago.
Married in 1858 to Eugene Alter, who preceded her in death in 1882, Mrs.
Alter was the mother of three sons, Otto, Oscar and Gustav, all of this
city, and surviving her. Two brothers, George and August Schuette also
survive and there are six grancchildren and two great grandchildren.
A woman of retiring disposition, Mrs. Alter devoted her life to her home
and family, happy in her home and children and her death was as calm and
peaceful as had been her long life.
The funeral will be held at the late home on North Tenth street at two
o'clock Monday, the Rev. Keicher officiating.
