TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
In fond memory of AUGUST WELLER, SR., who died at his home in Lavaca county, Texas, December 6th, 1888, and buried with Masonic honors, and a large host of friends in attendance, near his home. He was born at Salzufel, Prussia, Germany, February 1, 1829, came to America and Texas in 1846, and lived a short time in Colorado county; then moved to Lavaca county, on the Navidad river, where he has resided to the day of his death. Brother WELLER was a remarkable man, of energy and indomitable perserverance. He founded the town of Wellersburg, where he carried on a large business in store, gin and mill, shop and postoffice. He was the father of twelve children, eleven of whom survive him, and were all at his bedside when he died.—Colorado Citizen, Dec. 20, 1888; p. 3
