GEORGE WEIGHT

Died at his home near Lowther's Mill at 10:15 o'clock last evening. Mr. 
Weight was 72 years old and practically his entire life had been spent 
in Antis township. He enlisted at the opening of the Civil war and 
served throughout that conflict, his final enlistment being in Company 
A, One Hundred and Tenth regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. At the age 
of 16 years, he united with the Logan Valley Baptist church. He had for 
many years been a deacon. Widely known throughout the vicinity, he was 
just as widely esteemed. The voters of the township had conferred 
various offices upon him, the last one being that of tax collector, 
which he was obliged to decline, on account of failing health. Two 
sons, John of Punxsutawney and Charles of Bellwood, survive him also 
four grandchildren and two sisters: Mrs. Bigler Ross of Johnstown and 
Mrs. Phoebe Starmer of Kane. The funeral services will be held in the 
Logan Valley Baptist church at 10 o'clock Thursday morning, after which 
the interment will be made in Logan Valley cemetery.
