Funeral Services Held Here Today for G.C. Weisler
Death came as a relief to a prolonged illness, attended by intense suffering, when it touched the tired eyelids of G.C. Weisler, Tuesday afternoon at five o’clock.
For the past several weeks he had been confined to his bed, lest the least exertion cause a collapse of his heart. He had seemed better than usual during Monday and expressed the desire to walk around in his home but was persuaded to remain quiet.
About midnight he suffered a heart attack and throughout Tuesday his condition remained critical. He had been a resident of Eagle Lake for nearly forty years, having come here to reside in 1906.
He was born in Chapel Hill, November 9, 1873, the son of Wilhelmina and Frnaz Weisler. January 17, 1900, he married Miss Jane Brownson at her home in Lavaca County. Born to this union were five children, all of whom survive. They are Mrs. Y.T. Harris of Dallas; Mrs. R.L. Brittain of Jasper; Mrs. J.C. Fant of Bellville; Louis W. Weisler of Berkley, California and Capt. Julian Weisler of the U.S. Army, formerly County Attorney of Washington County. Ten grandchildren also survive, and his faithful and devoted wife. There are no surviving brothers and sisters, Mr. Weisler having been the last of his immediate family circle.
Awaiting the arrival of his son, Louis, from California, funeral services were not held until this morning, Friday, at ten o’clock. The rev. G.A. Shultz conducted the last sad rites at the Methodist Church of which deceased had been a faithful and loyal member throughout his life. Burial was in Lakeside cemetery. Named as honorary pallbearers were Dr. S. E. Stafford, A.H. Wegharst, Dr. Waldo Knolle, P.N. Roberts, Brenham; Jack and Obe Goode, Weimer; Loy Duddlesten, Houston; C.S. McLellan, Palacios; G.Y. Morgan, George H. Heck, Victor Englehard, Dr. J.R. Laughlin, W. D. Estlinbaum; Joe D. Luna, Harry Moland, F.T. Bell, J.M. Chumney, Ben Ahlers, Chas. Von Lengerke, R. Killough, Ernest Seaholm, S.E. Cooper, Henry Beckman, A.F. Harbert, S.O. Boothe, L.J. Burger, G.A. Seaholm, E.H. Rodgers, A.A. Klockman, J.R. Colly, J.N. Frazar.
Casket attendants were George Goode of Weimar, W.H. Abell of Garwood, Ray F. Arnold of Houston, A. J. Struss, E.H. Rodgers and S.C. Smothers of Eagle Lake.
Another native Texan and pioneer has “crossed over to rest in the shade of the trees.” To those who are grief stricken over his passing the Headlight offers tender and abiding sympathy.

Impressive Rites For G.C. Weisler
Impressive Funeral rites were held Friday morning at ten o’clock from Colly Memorial Church for G.C. Weisler. A large number of friends gathered to pay their last tribute of respect and esteem to his memory. Floral tributes that were lavish and of rare beauty adorned his final resting place in Lakeside cemetery.
All of the children were present at the last sad rites except Louis W. Weilser of Berkley, California. Delayed trains caused him to miss the funeral services, which had been postponed to Friday for his arrival. He did not get in until Saturday.
The Rev. G.A. Schultz officiated at the burial rites. Mrs. W. M. Lindsay played the prelude of funeral music. A quartet composed of Mrs. Oliver Westmoreland, Mrs. G.D. Gerstenberg, Miss Sue Colly and Rev. G.A. Schultz rendered “Peace Be Still.”
