She was the mother of 4 children, and she is buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Detroit, Michigan. Her son John married Elisabeth Lachowski in 1885.

Alice Marie Schulte lived and died between the census years… her young life ended by scarlet fever.
She was the only daughter of Edmund Schulte & Lillian Ostrowski.
Alice was my grandfather’s sister… I remember him mentioning her once or twice.
