OBITUARY

WEAVER - On March 14, 1900, near Geistown, Cambria Co., Pa., Leah Weaver (maiden name Winegard), widow of Tobias Weaver, aged 73 years, 5 months. Her husband preceded her to the spirit world five years. Of the 7 sons and 3 daughters, 4 sons and one daughter remain to mourn her departure. She had 47 grandchildren, of whom four are dead, and 27 great grandchildren, of whom two are dead. She united with the Mennonite Church early in life, and was a devoted and faithful member until her death. She was a kind and devoted mother. The sweet and pleasant voice, which so often gave gentle and loving reproofs and admonitions, will no more be heard by us, but its sweet strains are mingled with those in seraphic song. We trust that in our memories the timely admonitions may ever be alive to inspire us to higher and nobler things. Services by J.N. Durr and Jonas Blough, from Rev. 14:13.
