An Old Resident Gone

One by one, the old pioneer residents with their salutary influence, pass into the great beyond leaving behind them a generation which is prone to underestimate the work done and the influence wielded by their lives.

Death last Monday removed from a sphere of active life that extended far beyond the allotted three score and ten, Mrs. Louis Weber, sr. who had lived in this neighborhood about 40 years. Born in the Rheinish Palitinate, in a small hamlet named Gries, about 79 years ago, she came to America with her husband and three children in 1867 settling on the farm now owned by Mr. Israel Braeuchle, and situated about a mile north west of Elmira. Later the family removed to the farm now occupied by Mr. Karl Weber east of Elmira, then they lived a few years at Hawkesville after which they removed to Elmira where they lived with their son-in-law, Mr. M. Hemmerich where three years ago, Mr. Weber died. Ten children, all of whom are still living, had blessed the union of deceased and her husband, viz: Louis of Hawkesville, Caroline (Mrs. L. Sohmaermund), Karl and August of Woolwich Township, Philip of Berlin, Phillipina (Mrs. H. Hemmerich), Elizabeth (Mrs. Schraer), and Katie of Elmira, Daniel of Battleford, Sask., and Henry of Salt Lake City, Utah. Besides these, one brother, Mr. Charles Klinck, sr., three sisters, Mrs. A. Blatz, Mrs. P. Jansen and Mrs. Hy. Dunke, and thirty grandchildren survive her, to mourn the loss of a kind hearted active and provident mother and sister.

The funeral will be held today (Thursday) at 2 o'clock pm from the residence of Mr. M. Hemmerich to the Elmira Union Cemetery.
