MRS. ANNA ALESSANDRO WILL BE BURIED AT 9:30 A.M. TOMORROW

Illness of only two days resulted in the death of Mrs. Anna Alessandro, 801 South Seventh street. She passed away in a local sanitarium. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 9:30, from the Church of the Assumption, with the assistant rector, Rev. George B. Black, officiating, interment to be made in Holy Cross Cemetery. Mrs. Alesssandro became ill, last Saturday, and on that day she was removed to the sanitarium, where an operation was performed. This failed to effect the desired results. Born in Italy, Mrs. Alessandro had been in the United States for the last 35 years. The family moved from Pueblo, Col., to Waco in 1908. During the 17 years that she had lived here, Mrs. Alessandro endeared herself to all who came in contact with her. Her life was filled to overflowing with good deeds, and her benevolences were innumerable, performed without ostentation, and given, regardless of race or creed. She found her greatest pleasure in rendering service to others. She gave much, asking nothing in return. Surviving Mrs. Alessandro are six sons and one daughter, Prof. Victor Alessandro, Houston; A.D., Jack, Joe, and G.O. Alessandro, Waco; Mike Alessandro, St. Louis, and Miss Lily Alessandro, Waco. She also has three sisters, Mrs. Congetta Alessandro, Los Angeles; Mrs. Carmella Mormino and Mrs. Terresina Maggio, both living in the Argentine Republic.
