Mrs. Anna Teresa Astroth, wife of Louis Astroth of 1125 Union street, died at St. Joseph's Hospital Sunday night from the effects of blood poisoning, following an injury to her knee. Mrs. Astroth fell downstairs at her home and injured her knee cap last January 9, and the injury failed to heal. It became necessary to operate on her knee because of the gravity of complications which were developing, and the operation failed to give relief. Blood poisoning developed and she gradually grew worse until the illness terminated fatally. Mrs. Astroth was a daughter of Frank Van Schoelandt. She was born in Kansas City, Kan., and was 27 years of age. She came to Alton with her parents when she was five years of age and had lived here ever since. Beside her husband, she leaves two children, Helen aged 8, and Robert aged 6. She leaves four sisters, Mrs. Benjamin Rexford, Mrs. Lester Cray, Misses Nellie and Bertha Van Schoelandt; and one brother, Fred Van Schoelandt. The body was taken to the Streeper morgue and from there will be taken to the home Tuesday evening. Funeral services will be held from the home Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. O. W. Heggermeier will officiate. Burial will be in Oakwood cemetery.
