esteemed resident of Monticello, who died in his home on Monroe street about 2:30 p.m. Saturday following a brief illness of approximately two weeks duration, were conducted at1:30 p. m. Tuesday in the home and at 2 in the Reformed church. Hardening of the arteries within the heart caused his death.

Came As Sad Blow
Mr. Weissmiller's sudden and unexpected death came as a sad blow to both relatives and friends, few of whom were aware that he was ill. Still an unusually active man despite his advanced years, Mr. Weissmiller had over-exerted himself while assisting at the family farm in Washington township two weeks ago, aggravating a condition which resulted in his fatal illness. He was not considered seriously ill, however, until about 5 a. m. Friday when he suffered such a sudden sinking spell that all of the children were quickly summoned to his bedside. With surprising stamina, Mr. Weissmiller bridged this crisis. Early Saturday morning, however, he experienced another turn for the worse, finally coming to a peaceful end of his march down life's pathway at about 2:30 in the afternoon.
