Edd Weed Dies at New Richland Home
Edwin S. Weed, known throughout the county as Edd Weed and a son of an early pioneer family of Waseca county, died at his home in New Richland Friday morning at 3:40 a.m. While he has been ailing for the past two years with stomach trouble, his death was due directly to double pneumonia which he was taken with four weeks ago. He was in his seventieth year.
His parents Benjamin Weed and Helen Brisbane (the latter a sister of Alex Brisbane of the city) came to Waseca county in 1856. In 1858 the family made a trip in a covered wagon back to Waupun, Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin, and it was during their stay there that Edwin was born. The family made the trip of three hundred miles in about two weeks.
Edd grew to manhood in Wilton township and on March 16, 1885, he was united in marriage to Lida Kellogg. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride in Preston, Iowa. The couple lived happily together on a farm in Hound Street, a community northwest of New Richland. Five children were born to this union and all are living. They are Jennie (Mrs. Earl Nelson), New Richland; Elva (Mrs. G.A. Dees), Tulsa, Okla.; Ben, New Richland; Kathryn (Mrs. Herbert Dodge), New Richland; and Percy, American Lake, Washington. Three brothers also survive, namely Frank and Eck of Big Fork, Mont., and George of Rice Lake, Wisc. A sister, Mrs. Geo. Stearns, is deceased. His wife died on Jan. 23, 1905.
Mr. Weed was a man of very clean living and did not show his age. He was a lover of nature, and his home in New Richland to which he retired in 1919, was made beautiful every spring and summer with flowers of many varieties. He was a sportsman and spent much of his time with the hounds and in the woods - yet he would never kill a squirrel or any other animal helpful to mankind.
Funeral services were held from the home at New Richland Monday afternoon at 1:30 and at 2:00 from the Congregational church. Rev. Barbour conducted the services. Burial was made in St. Peter's cemetery.
The pall bearers were John L. Hanson, Chris. B. Johnson, Eugene Turnacliff, Clair J. Brisbane, Herman Briese and Burch Root.
Mr. Weed was held in high esteem by those outside his own church as well as those within it. As a respect to his memory the All Saints Catholic church bell was tolled as the funeral cortege passed from the Congregational church.
