On January 18, 1910 at 7 p.m. George Albert Schafer died at the
age of 30 on the sidewalk of Woodbine Street in Evergreen. His body was removed to his
home at 165 Wyckoff Avenue and the next day taken charge of by the Coroner (coincidently
named George Schaefer). The autopsy found that his cause of death was "Valvular
Disease of the Heart." The family story is that Kati died less than 8 months later,
on 5 September 1910, of a broken heart. Her death certificate indicates that she had been
under a physician's care prior to George's death, and later died from complications of
pneumonia. From the death certificates it is impossible to determine if perhaps the same
illness was ultimately responsible for both of their deaths. George and Kati
