When Alice's parents : Fannie and Drikus Snitjer, moved to San Jose they had a daughter, Alice, who married Albert Armstrong, a native of New York, who lost his life in the service of his country in the Spanish American War, while a member of Roosevelt's Rough Riders in Cuba. Mr. and. Mrs. Armstrong were the parents of one daughter, Bonney.

Mrs.Alice Armstrong later married Dr. Richardson Burke of San Jose, who passed away 1 year after their marriage.

Mrs. Burke was a very capable woman and is prominent as a platform lecturer, and during 1910 she covered the eastern, northern, western and southern boundaries of the United States in an automobile on a campaign for woman's suffrage.

She settled in New York and in her later life, moved to Los Angeles with her brother, Edwin.

She passed in 1948.

Her cremated remains were placed in a "Community Niche," described as "Crypt 4021, Capistrano Garden." The nature of a Community Niche is that there are many, many urns placed in together. There is no visitation, and no memorialization.

Capistrano Garden was IPC's first implementation of non-visitation crypts.
Built in the 1960s, these crypts are below ground, with memorialization in the
panel garden at ground level. This concept was also used at Westerminster
Abbey, Sunset Mission Mausoleum.


I hope this information will help.
