IN MEMORIAM.

  WEAVER. -- February 27, 1900, in West Earl Twp., Lanc. Co., Pa., Mary, wife of 
John M. Weaver, aged 73 years, 3 months and 7 days.  She died in the general 
hospital at Lancaster, of Bright's disease, after undergoing a successful 
operation for another ailment.  She leaves a husband, two sons and one   
daughter, two sisters and three brothers.  Her brothers are all ministers of the 
Gospel, -- Moses Weaver, a minister and Bishop in the Pike Mennonite Church, 
John Weaver a Mennonite minister in Elkhart Co., Indiana, and David Weaver, a 
preacher in the Mennonite church in Harvey Co., Kan.  Her son, Aaron Weaver, is 
a deacon in the Mennonite church in the old Harrisburg, Pike Cong. in Lanc. Co., 
Pa., of which church the deceased was a faithful member for many years.  She was 
of a gentle and kind disposition and was loved by all who knew her.  She at one 
time taught her neighboring children the German language in her own home; she 
also kept a record of all the deaths that occurred for many miles around her 
quiet home.  Thus she was continually doing something to endear her to those who 
were influenced by her life, and she will be greatly missed in all her walks of 
life by those who knew her.  Her funeral took place at the above named meeting  
house on Friday, March 2d.  Funeral services by Rev. Aaron Sensenig and Rev. 
Joseph Brubaker, from Acts 10:34-35. --Herald of Truth
