left that place in 1920 to make their home in Greenwood. The
Schwarzes were charter members of West Side Immanuel Reformed
Church when it was organized 70 years ago. The couple observed
their golden wedding anniversary Nov. 11, 1923, at the Otto
Schwarze home.
Since the death of his wife Feb. 27, 1937, he had been making his
home with his children. Three sons died, Albert on Aug. 16, 1944,
Dr. Herman in 1932, and Frederick in infancy. A daughter, Mrs. Fred
