OBITUARY

WEED-On Wednesday afternoon the funeral of Edwin C. Weed was held at the home 
conducted by Rev. Parsons who spoke with unusual sympathy and feeling. Music 
was rendered by a quartet. Interment was in Mt. Hope cemetery. The following 
clipping tells the sad story of Mr. Weed’s death:
Edwin C. Weed, 39 years old, a bookkeeper by occupation, was found dead in his 
bed at the State hotel about 3:30 yesterday afternoon by one of the clerks of 
the hotel. Weed, who has been residing in Omaha at various times for several 
years and has of late made his home at the State hotel, retired to his bed 
very late Friday night. He did not get up Saturday and an employee of the 
hotel looked over the transom late in the afternoon of that day and says he 
saw Weed still in his bed and that he was apparently asleep as he observed 
that the man was breathing. Nothing further was done toward an investigation, 
as Weed had expressed himself as being very tired when he went to bed. 
Becoming alarmed by the fact of his nonappearance Sunday afternoon the clerk 
opened the door and Weed was found to be dead, apparently having passed away 
some time previous. Coroner Swanson took charge of the remains, but as the 
dead man had been a sufferer of heart trouble and it is believed he came to 
his death from that cause probably no inquest will be held. Weed has a half 
brother in Omaha in the employ of the street railway. His mother lives in 
Maquoketa, Iowa and has been notified.
