SUDDEN DEATH OF MISS M. L. WEIGLER
HEART DISEASE FATAL
MEMBER OF OLD TIME ALTON FAMILY, RUNNING TO ESCAPE STORM, DROPS DEATH INSTANTLY ON SIDEWALK
Miss Mary Louise Weigler, in her 75th year, died very suddenly from heart trouble, as the result of over exertion in attempting to get to shelter from an impending storm, Wednesday evening on East Broadway. Miss Weigler had been suffering for four or five years from a malady, which had been diagnosed as arterial hardening. She was out of her home Wednesday evening when the squall of rain and wind came, and she hastened to get back to her home, to close up her house. The unusual exertion caused a collapse of her heart. Dr J. Shaff, who was summoned to attend her after she had been carried into the millinery store of Mrs. Link close by, said death must have been instant.
For fifty years, Miss Weigler had lived in the one house where she was residing at the time of her death, 604 East Broadway. She was born August 15, 1842. Until six years ago she was the housekeeper for her aged father, George H. Weigler, for many years a very prominent resident and businessman in Alton. She leaves three sisters, Mrs. Minnie Lang, of Alton, Mrs. A. F. Miller, of Belleville and Mrs. William R. Hancock, of Pensacola, Fla.
The funeral will be from the home of Mrs. Minnie Lang, 437 East 11th Street, and will be conducted by Rev. O. W. Heggemeier, of the Evangelical Church, at Eight and Henry Streets. The funeral time was tentatively set for Saturday afternoon, but a definite decision wasn't possible until word could be received from her sister in Florida.
