"Dust to Dust / Burtner / Mrs. Anna Burtner died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Clyde Scott, Vandergrift, Sabbath, Aug. 4, 1929 of hear trouble. Mrs. Burtner was a daughter of the late David Alter, a noted scientist, the dedication for whose memorial in the Freeport Cemetery a few years ago was one of the largest and most impressive ceremonies of the kind ever held in Freeport. Mr. Alter, according to good authority, discovered or invented the telegraph about the same time as Professor Morse, but never attempted to capitalize his discovery. The late Professor John Brashear, celebrated scientist of Pittsburgh, who made the principal address at the above mentioned dedication, told of the discovery of what is known as the spectrum analysis by Dr. Alter, which is considered on the most important for years at that time. Mrs. Burtner lived for a number of years on Water Street, and was for a long time official reporter of the river stage for the U.S. government. She leaves one daughter, Mrs. Clyde Scott, of Vandergrift, with whom she made her home. The funeral services were held here Tuesday afternoon in the M.E. Church."
