Belding Home News, 1 Jan 1880

Mrs. Mabel Weaver, Wife of Mr. Aaron Weaver who resides about two miles north-
east of this village was found dead in her bed on Friday morning, Dec. 26.  
Mrs. Weaver was 82 years old, was feeble with age, but was in usual health.  On 
Christmas day her children and grand children visited the homestead and the day 
was passed in a most pleasing and joyous manner.  About 10 o’clock Mr. and Mrs. 
Weaver retired.  She stated that her heart troubled her some which was nothing 
at all unusual.  She complained somewhat of a soarness in her throat, and 
bandaged her neck.  Soon they both fell asleep and slept apparently sound until 
between 5 and 6 o’clock on the morning of the 26th.  Me Weaver awoke, and his 
face came in contact with that of his wife, when he was alarmed because it 
seemed stone cold.  He struck a light, called the family, and Mrs. Weaver was 
found to be a corpse.  Her funeral was attended by a large concourse of people, 
at the Christian church on Sunday last.  She leaves her husband, three 
daughters, Mrs. Julia Bradford of Stanton, Mrs. Mary Harroun of Greenville, and 
Mrs. Martha Harroun of this place, besides many grand children to mourn her 
loss.

Mrs. Weaver was born in Washington Co., N.Y., Sept. 17th, 1779.  Sept. 23rd, 
1879, this aged couple celebrated the 60th anniversary of their marriage.  They 
were among the early pioneers of this township, having settled here in 1843.  
About 21 years ago she made a public profession of religion, and united with 
the Otisco Christian Church of which she remained a worthy member until her 
death.  She was a woman of unassuming manners, but sincerely devoted to her 
family and to every good work.
