 Mrs. Weber left here on Septem- Der 10 for Juneau to receive medical alvice. She was met at Juneau by Dr. H. c. De Vighne who took her at once to St. Ann's hospital. A few days later she wrote her husband a cheerful letter saying that she was improving and would be home soon. But a letter from pr. DeVighne written the same week stated that she was suffering from Bright's dis ease and heart complications, and that her case was hopeless. MT. Weber immediately made arrange ments to leave on the Admiral Rog- CTS due Saturday afternoon, but be- fore the arrival of the steamer he re- ceived cablegram conveying the sad news that his wife had passed on.
 The body arrived in Wrangell on the Jefferson at four o'clock this morning and was taken to the Pres byterian church. The Juneau Ma sonic Lodge, of which fraternity MT. Weber is member, sent beautiful floral offering. Intimate friends of Mrs Weber had decorated the church with the flowers she loved, and there were many floral tributes testifying to the love and esteem in which the deceased was held. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. H. P. Corser and were beautiful and impressive. Notwith standing the stormy day the church was crowded with sorrowing friends. The choir, composed of Mrs. NJ. O. Johnson, Mrs. L. c. Scribner, Mrs. J. G. Grant, F. E. Bronson, A. c. Jor- genson, H. D. Campbell, and Mrs. Josephine Mason organist, sang the well-loved hymns appropriate to the occasion. Mrs. Johnson sang Face to Face. The pallbearers were Ole Johnson, L. M Campbell, N. Nuss- baumer, J. Voss. Ralph Hall, and H. P. Mccormack.
 Mrs. Weber's maiden name was Edna Matilda Caywood. She was born in the State of Indiana 59 years ago. When she was eighteen months old her parents left Indiana with an emigrant party for the State of Oregon. The trip was made across the plains in covered wagons. On this long trip both of Mrs. Web CTS parents became i'll with fever and both died and were buried on jthe way. In due time the emigrant party reached Oregon and settled in the Willamette Valley. Mrs. Weber was reared there by an older half sister. At the age of IS she was married to J. F. Hamilton. In the early '90s she came with her hus- band to Alaska stopping for time at Yes Bay. She came to Wrangell | in 1895 and has resided here ever since with the exception of short time spent in Juneau and again at Yes Bay. Her first husband died in April 1906. She was married on April 4, 1909, to c. E. Weber, who survives her. She is also survived | by a twin brother, one half sister and one full sister, all of whom re- side in the State of Oregon.
 In the early years of her married life with MT. Hamilton. she passed through a great sorrow in the loss of twin girls whose deaths occurred within few months of each other. Mrs. Weber was one of the best beloved women in Wrangell. She was essentially a mother, and after losing her own babies she became mother to all around her. She was blessing to every one who knew her, and wherever she was her cheery, happy personality dominat- ed. Men, women and children alike loved her and were made better by the faith she had in them. She united with the Baptist church when a young girl and ever after lived a beautiful and consistent Christian life exemplifying in her every day life the highest type of a true Christian woman. Her faith sustained and kept her to the end. She was interested in all worthy enterprises of the town and contri- buted generously to their advance ment. Not only in a material way was her charity and generosity man. ifested but she was generous in her thought of others. She was a de- voted wife, kind neighbor and a sympathetic. understanding friend to every one.
 | All in Wrangell mourn the passing of this dear friend; she will never be forgotten but will ever live enshrin- ed in the hearts and memories of those she left behind
