Elgert's obituary appeared in the Hazleton Plain-Speaker on 22 January 1937. I found a transcription of it years ago on the Eastern Pennsylvania message board on Ancestry.com.
Elgert Genevich, aged 4, of 309 West Green street, West Hazleton, died at 7 o'clock this morning at the State Hospital where he was treated for injuries sustained while coasting a week ago. Surviving him are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Genevich and a sister, Dorothy Genevich. His grandmother, Mrs. Cecelia Degutis of West Hazleton, also survives. The funeral will be held at 9:30 Monday morning, with interment in the Sts. Peter and Paul's cemetery at Laurel Hill.
