PETER H. WEIMER

  The death of Peter H. Weimer, on Sunday morning about 9 o'clock, marked the 
passing of one of Meyersdale's oldest and best known citizens.  Death resulted 
from a heart attack, though he had been in failing health for some time.
  Mr. Weimer, who had been a familiar figure on lower Broadway, where he had 
resided for many years, was aged 77 years, 4 months and 17 days.  He was born in 
Greenville Township, but for more than half a century was a resident of 
Meyersdale.  During the earlier years of his life, and in fact until 
incapacitated by reasons of his ailments, Mr. Weimer was interested in civic 
affairs, having served efficiently for many years either as judge, inspector or 
clerk on the election board in district No. 1, and may be said to have been one 
of the town's most highly esteemed and substantial citizens.
  Mr. Weimer was a life-long member of the Reformed Church, and during his 
residence in Meyersdale was an active and consistent member of Amity 
congregation.  He was also a member of Pioneer Lodge, No. 471, Knights of 
Pythias.
  He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mary Brant Weimer, and the following 
children:  John M. and Charles W. Weimer, of Meyersdale; Allen Weimer, in the 
service of the United States Navy, at present stationed somewhere off the coast 
of California; Mrs. John Glessner, of Akron, Ohio, and Mrs. Harry Blades, of 
Cumberland.  Surviving are one sister and two brothers, Mrs. Henry Sipple and 
Harvey H. and Wilson Weimer, all of Meyersdale.
  Funeral services were conducted on Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock at the 
late home of the deceased, Rev. Dr. Blanchard Allen Black, pastor of Amity 
Reformed Church, officiating.  Interment was made in the Reformed Cemetery, 
under the direction of Undertaker Joseph L. Tressler.
