    George A. Weir Dies; One of Pioneer Family

    Death has claimed another pioneer of Emmet County and southern Minnesota, George A. Weir of Dunnell, Minn. Mr. Weir passed away at Holy Family hospital early Friday morning [March 12, 1948] after an illness of two months.

    Mr. Weir was born in Canada on July 5, 1867. He came to Emmet County with his parents at the age of eleven months. He was reared and educated here and was a teacher in the rural schools for a time in the early days.

    The Weir family was among the early members of the Presbyterian Church here and were active members during the early days.

    He was united in marriage to Carrie A. Bemis, another of Estherville's oldest families on Sept. 3, 1891. They resided here until 1921 and moved to Dunnell, Minn. where Mr. Weir was manager of an elevator. He was always active in any community work both her and at Dunnell. After retiring in 1941 he spent much time at a lake cabin where he enjoyed out of door life.

    He is survived by his widow and five sons, Paul, Lynn, Francis and Donald of this city, and Lee of Plainfield, Ill.

    The funeral services were held on Monday from the home in Dunnell, Minn. and from the Presbyterian Church here at 2: 30, the Rev. Frielie Conaway officiating. Interment was in Oak Hill cemetery.
