Widow Dies From Grief
Mrs. Schott Expires on Anniversary of Husband's Death
Was Widely Known in Washington and Prominently Identified in Church Work for Many Years
Funeral services for Mrs. Bertha Schott, widow of Professor Charles A. Schott of the Coast and Geodetic Survey who died at her home, 212 First Street Southeast, Tuesday night will be held today at 4:30PM at the family home.
Rev. John Chester, former pastor of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church of which Mrs. Schott was a charter member will conduct the services. It is hoped that Rev. Albert Evans, present pastor of the church, who is out of the city will reach Washington in time to attend the funeral. Burial will be private in Oak Hill Cemetery.
Mrs. Schott died on the fifth anniversary of the death of her husband, her death occurring at almost the same hour on the same day of the month as his. The return of the day served to recall her sorrow in its first keenness and contributed in no small degree to the attack of heart failure which caused her death.
Mrs. Schott leaves two daughters, Misses Minna and Bertha Schott and a stepson, Franklin H. Schott. Like her husband she was of German origin and was born in Prussia, February 11, 1834. When only ten years old she crossed the ocean alone and came to live with relatives in this country. She was married to Professor Schott whose first wife was her sister, September 28, 1863.
Mr. and Mrs. Schott were among the foremost residents of East Washington with which they were identified from the time of their marriage. Mrs. Schott was one of the thirty persons who founded the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church and had always borne a prominent part in its work.
She was a woman of rare worth and among her acquaintances her judgment was highly prized. She was unusually hospitable and had a wide circle of friends.
