Death and Funeral Notices:

William Weaver Dead.

W. H. Holmes received the following telegram about 9 o’clock this morning:
“Neodesha, Ks., July 8, 1902…
W. H. Holmes:--William Weaver died last night. Have Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias meet tonight for funeral on Thursday, 10 a.m. Body will reach Pittsburg on Santa Fe at 4:25 p.m. of the 9th inst. Meet me at Frisco train tonight.
WM. LANYON,”

In connection Mr. Holmes desires to request all Odd Fellows to govern themselves accordingly and attend the meeting tonight.

The news of Mr. Weaver’s death comes as a shocking surprise to his many acquaintances of Pittsburg where he made his home for years, from the city’s early days.
He has been boss carpenter for the Lanyon smelters for many years and was a valued employee. He was superintendent of Bridges and Building for the Joplin and Girard railroad company (now a part of the Frisco) and filled the place with credit to himself and the entire satisfaction of his employers.

He was an Odd Fellow and K. of P. and leaves a wife and one daughter, who is married.
