This article has mispelled Mary E. Garver's name as Gavin, and represented Alte as her daughter rather than grand-daughter.
Altie's Grandmother was Mary E. McCormick who married John Chapman, and then Mathias Garver. This Mary E. Garver was the "Mary E. Gavin" in this newspaper article. All of Mary Garver's children died before she did on April 2, 1911. |
