Obituary:
Sudden Death.
George Thomas Weedman died Friday morning, February 9, at the family home in the east suburbs of Paola. Recently he had been in better health than for a number of years and Thursday night on retiring felt as well as usual and slept well during the night. About six o'clock in the morning he remarked to Mrs. Weedman that he had a smothering sensation and raised up on his elbow in bed, remarking that he felt better, but in a few moments fell back on the pillow, expiring instantly. His death was caused by heart trouble.
Mr. Weedman was born in McLean Co., Illinois, May 27, 1838. He was raised there and at the breaking out of the civil war enlisted in the 107th Illinois infantry, serving to the close of the war. In 1875 he came to this county and for several years farmed in Wea Twp., afterwards in Stanton and Marysville Twnps. In 1890 he returned to Illinois and from there removed to Iowa, from where he came to Paola and purchased the Mickelborough property, east of town, and with his family resided there.
Mr. Weedman was a good citizen and neighbor and a Christian gentleman. He was converted to Christianity at revival meetings at Louisburg and united with the Methodist Episcopal church at that place and in 1904 became a member of the Methodist church in Paola. He was a member of the G.A.R. in Iowa and intended having his membership transfered to McCaslin Post of Paola, but never did so. With his wife he leaves a daughter, Miss Myrtle Weedman, who has been teaching in one of the schools in Stanton Township, and a son, P.S. Weedman, by a former wife, residing at Shelbina, Mo. He also leaves a sister, Mrs. C.S. Burford, at Denver, Colorado, and three brothers, Charles Weedman of Des Moines, Iowa, Jesse Weedman of Webster City, Iowa, and Harve Weedman of Kansas City. The funeral services, conducted by Rev. T.E. Chandler, were held from the Methodist church Sunday. The remains were buried in the Paola cemetery.
