From: August 30, 1928 Winn Parish Enterprise

Mrs. Thomas Dabney Weir

It was with much sorrow that the Winnfield Methodist Sunday School learned of
the death of the mother of our beloved pastor, Rev. C. C. Weir, on Saturday,
August 25, 1928, at her home in Houston, Texas.

Although she had reached the ripe old age of 84, she was still the mother to
a large family of children whom she had brought into the world, and the
parting was just as sad as it would have been had she left them at any other
age.

While we sorrow with our dear pastor in his great loss, we rejoice with him in
being the son of such a wonderful mother, and that she was permitted to dwell
amongst her children for so long a period and minister unto them as only a
good mother can.  Only those of us who lost our mothers in early life can
really appreciate what Mother Weir has meant to her children during her long
and useful life.  The passing of one of these old saints, while it leaves more
distinctly a vacant place, like the passing of a giant oak that has shaded us
all the days of our lives, makes Heaven more real, and the thoughts that
mother is over there makes us more determined to so live that when our summons
comes we will be permitted to dwell with her and the other loved ones who have
gone before.

Therefore, be it resolved that we deeply sympathize with Brother Weir in his
great loss and pray that Heaven's richest blessings may rest and abide with
him even down to a ripe old age in the labors for the Master.

Respectfully,

P. K. Abel
