Obituary

Z. [enis] P. [rice] Weese was born in Roane county, Tennessee, Dec. 15, 1832, and died in St. Joseph, Mo., where he had submitted to an operation, April 22, 1918, being at the time of his death 85 years, 4 months and 9 days of age.

At an early age he moved with his parents to what is now called Gentry County, Missouri. Here he grew to manhood during the pioneer days of the country. Later moving to a farm south of Blockton where he lived many years, and still later moved to Blockton where he has since resided.

He was married to Narcissus [Narissa] J. Ray Nov. 10, 1850, in Worth County, Mo. To this union 12 children were born, eight of whom grew to man and womanhood but only four survive him. The surviving children are W. [illiam] B.[enjamin] and L. [ee] L. [evi] Weese, Mrs. G. [eorge] W. [ashington] Sanders [Rhoda] and Mrs. J. [ohn] C. [alvin] Childers [Lydia].

His wife having preceded him in death [September 10, 1895], he was married to Evelyn Seman, after whose death [February 28, 1911] he was married to the wife [Anna Sophia Lamb Chesbro] who remains to mourn his loss, together with 4 children, 19 grandchildren and 34 great grandchildren.

He was the last of his family to succumb to death, his brothers and sister having preceded him by many years to the great beyond.

He was a man of integrity and industry, a good neighbor and a friend of man. His whole life is woven inseparably into the industrial advancement of the country, for his years reached back over its history in the making.

Since his early manhood he has been an active member of the Church of Christ and deeply devoted to its sacred principles, and seldom absented himself from its services. His loyalty and unfeigned faith has been most commendable as well as an inspiration to others, and such as to enable him to round out his over eighty-five years in triumph.

The bereaved ones have the sympathy of a large acquaintance who have been life-long friends.

The funeral services were held from the Blockton Christian church yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Burhl Gilpin, and interment was made in Rose Hill cemetery.
