MRS. SARAH WEISTER

  Mrs. Sarah Weister, sister of E. H. Mercer, of 2806 West Chestnut 
avenue, died at her home in San Francisco, California, on Tuesday of 
this week.  The news was contained in a telegram to Mr. Mercer 
yesterday morning, who was not aware that his sister was ill until news 
came of her death, announcing that she had been ill but four days.  
Mrs. Weister visited here for several months last summer and is known 
to many residents of this city, who were charmed with her brilliant 
playing of the piano.  For several years Mrs. Weister was organist in 
one of  San Francisco's leading Presbyterian churches.  The funeral 
will occur today from Trinity Presbyterian church.  She is survived by 
two sons Edward and Alfred, of Danville, Cal., and three brothers, O. 
V. Mercer, of Saltsburg, Pa.; W. S. Mercer, of California and E. H. 
Mercer, of this city.
