Noted concert singer (contralto). Lived in France for 7 years before dying of pneumococcic meningitis in the American Hospital in Paris. Cremated, with funeral services conducted on 10 Feb 1933. Obituary published on 10 Feb 1933 in the New York Times.
NOTE: Today it seems that Bertha Child has fallen to Père Lachaise's custom of leasing graves rather than selling them. Member #46781068 says that, although this location matches what's noted in the cemetery archive, the niche now contains someone else's urn. So her ashes probably either went to the cemetery's ossuary or were spread on the back lawn when her lease was up.
