Anna Weimer Cupp, another of Adams County's oldest and much loved pioneers, passed away after a long life well and loving lived among the friends sprinkled along the pathway of years from the early sixties down to the present time. Mrs. Cupp passed away Sunday morning about 2 o'clock after an illness of a short duration. She was taken sick on Monday previous to her death and grew gradually worse until her passing. There was no apparent organic trouble, but the illness seemed the natural result of old age and failing physical powers. The funeral services were held at the Methodist Church Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. E. S. Menoher. Interment was made in the Quincy Cemetery.
Anna Weimer Cupp, wife of A. Y. Cupp, was born April 4, 1830 and died January 25, 1925 at the age of 84 years, 9 months, and 21 days. She was born in Somerset County, Pennsylvania and was married to A. Y. Cupp October 3, 1861. For three or four years they resided at Eddyville, coming to Adams County in 1865, locating near Carbon. In her early youth, Mrs. Cupp united with the United Brethren Church, but after coming to Iowa she became affiliated with the Evangelical Church with which she held her membership at Mt. Etna until the time of her death. She was a devoted helpmate of her pastor husband who was so well known and loved in the community as a minister of the gospel who during his ministrations in the county united in marriage over eight hundred couples.
As a Christian Mrs. Cupp had the utmost confidence of all who knew her, her religion clearly manifested itself in all her relationships with those about her. She was most kind and affectionate to those about her and this spirit of sacrifice did not abate even in her failing health, as the desire seemed always being sunshine into the home. Her heart was bound up in the interests of her home and church and she had few interest outside except as the spirit of service drew her out.
Her husband preceded her in death five years ago. She leaves two children, Mrs. W. P. Powell of Moore, Montana, and Elmer F. Cupp of Corning to mourn her loss. There are also three grandchildren, Edna Moore of Moore, Montana, Chester Cupp and Grace Cupp of Corning. Elmer Cupp was with his mother at the time of her death. Mrs. Powell arriving a short time after.
Two more hands are gently folded
On a faithful mother's breast;
To more feet have ceased to wander,
Through life's stormy wilderness;
One more head has ceased its aching,
One more heart has ceased to beat;
One more soul has left its casket,
Gone to Heaven's safe retreat.
