Saturday afternoon. Although Mrs.
Weimer had been in falling health for a
number of years and her death was an
ticipated, the dread summons, neverthe-
less, came with startling suddenness.
About four years ago the deceased was
stricken with paralysis, from which she
partially recovered, only to be again
stricken about one year ago, since when
she has been helpless invalid. During
her long sickness she had the careful and
thoughtful attention of her son Frank
and his wife, and of her daugher-Mrs.
w. Il. Benner. Mrs. Weimer was born
ia Somerset sixty seven years ago and at
an early age was left an orphan. She
was lady of many excellent christian
virtues and was highly esteemed by her
large circle of friends and acqua;ntances.
In addition to her husband she is sur
vived by the following children: Alice,
who is married and resides in Ohio; Mrs.
Samuel Kantner. of Somerset township;
Frank and Mrs. w. B. Benner, of SOM
erset, and Mrs. NJ. J. Black, of Meyers
dale. The funeral took place from her
late residence at 2 o'clock Monday after
noon, interment being made in the Lu-
theran cemetery.
