Her death was caused by a heart disease, from which she had suffered at 
intervals during a year or more.  She was born and reared in Elk Lick Township,

Reformed Church, in the township where she was born and reared.
  Mrs. Weise was a devoted wife and mother, and was held in high esteem by her 
numerous friends in Salisbury and Elk Lick Township.  She was a home maker in 
every sense of the word, and will be greatly missed by her husband, children, 
and neighbors.
  The funeral service was held at the Weise residence, South Grant Street, at 
four o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and was conducted by Rev. A. M. Wright, pastor 
of St. John's Evangelical and Reformed Church in Salisbury.
