News From Lakewood, 1901

New Jersey Courier 17 Jan 1901:
Rev. David L. Schwartz, rector of All Saint's Memorial Church, Lakewood, died suddenly of apoplexy on Monday afternoon while playing a game of golf on the links of the golf club of Lakewood. He had been in his usual good health and had officiated in the church services the day before and had played golf in the morning of the day he died. Mr. Schwartz was sixty three years of age and had been rector of All Saint's Memorial Church since 1893, coming from Albany here. In May 1899 he went abroad and only returned last September. He was planning for an early convocation of clergy and invitations had already been issued for it. His death has caused a gloom to settle over all the community. He had a host of friends among all classes of people. He was a very charitable man and always had a pleasant word for every one he met. He was quite wealthy, owning considerable property in Lakewood. He leaves a widow and three children--D.L.Schwartz, jr., Cornelia and Herman--who have the heartfelt sympathy of all the community in this sudden bereavment. Funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon and the body was taken to Albany for burial.
