1st wife John Weaver
****************
Jan 21st, in Elkhart Co, Ind, of dropsy of the heart, Mary, wife of Pre John Weaver, aged 54 years, 3 months and 14 days.
Her maiden name was Zimmerman. She was born in Lancaster Co, Pa, Oct 7th, 1824, from which place she removed, some years ago, to Elkhart Co, Ind.
She died very suddenly. She had been washing up the room and then seating herself on a chair, she complained to one of her boys (who was with her in the room) of being tired, and almost immediately began to sink away. The boy called his sister, who was somewhere about the house, but she only came in time to see her mother draw the last expiring breath; in a very few minutes all was over; life had fled and only the two children were present to see their mother die.
In the morning the father and another of the boys, went to town, leaving the family in usual health. How sad it must have been for them, when the messenger came to tell them, that the mother of the household had been called away so suddenly but the hand of death!
She was buried on the 23rd, at Yellow Creek Meeting-house, when an immense concourse of people had assembled to pay their last respects to the memory of the dead.
Services were held by Christian Baer and Peter Lehman, from 2 Tim 4:7,8. She leaves a large family and many friends to mourn their loss. Peace to her ashes.
"Dearest mother, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'til God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal."
