ELIZA WELLER

  Mrs. Eliza Klingaman Weller, widow of Z. H. Weller, a former hardware merchant 
of Los Angeles, Cal., died at her home in Los Angeles, Thursday evening, Dec. 
22nd, in her 82nd year.
  The news of her death came to the publisher of The Republican as a great 
shock, as he paid her a visit last summer when she appeared to be in robust 
health, and on the very day of her death he received a well written letter from 
her, dated December 18th, telling about her good health and activities.
  A letter from her brother, Elmer E. Klingaman, of Los Angeles, written last 
Friday, states that Mrs. Weller became suddenly ill from a heart attack on 
Tuesday morning, Dec. 20th.   A doctor and nurse took charge of her immediately, 
but nothing could be done to save her.  She lingered unconscious until Thursday 
evening.
  Funeral services were conducted on Saturday.
  Eliza Klingaman, daughter of George Klingaman, was born at Pocahontas, 
Somerset County, Pa., July 20, 1850.  She moved with her parents to Waterloo, 
Iowa, when a child.  There she married Zachariah H. Weller, also a native of 
Somerset County.  During his early manhood Mr. Weller was a building contractor 
in Waterloo, but about the year 1885 he moved to Los Angeles where he was 
engaged in the hardware business until his death about 30 years ago.
  Mr. and Mrs. Weller were very good people and during the 20 years' residence 
of the publisher of The Republican in Los Angeles, were among his most intimate 
friends.
  Mrs. Weller is survived by one son, Lloyd Weller, two daughters, Mrs. Pearl Du 
Puy and Mrs. Charles E. Listenwalter, five grandchildren, and one brother, Elmer 
E. Klingaman, all residing in Los Angeles.
