came to Moorhead, Mimi, where she
resided until 1882 when she went to
Grandin. During her residence there
she built and took charge of the Gran
din hotel, conducting it in such man
ner that it became one of the most
popular small city hotels in the state.
Besides host Of loyal friends Mrs.
Weisbecker leaves a son, C.. F. Weis-
becker connected with the Great Nor
thern railway at Grand Forks, and
three daughters, Mrs. Otto Ferguson
of Grandin, Mrs. F.. c.. Jorgenson of
Grandin and Mrs. w. R. Wickins at
Albion, Mich, to mourn her death.
The remains will lay in state at
Grandin until Sunday evening, when
they will be shipped to Ilion, N. Y, for
burial. Undertaken Dougherty of this
city motored to Grandin yesterday ev-
ening and prepared the remains for
shipment and burial. 49,. ..
