 The agitator.: (Wellsborough, Tioga County, Pa.): June 05, 1861
On the 9th ult., near Davenport, Iowa, Nancy, wife of Joseph Weaver, late of
Knoxville, aged 55 years. Mrs. Weaver, the deceased, was on board the steamer Grey
Eagle of the Minnesota Packet Company, on her way from Dubuque to Burlington, Iowa,
to visit a sister. The mother of Mrs. Weaver, an aged woman, was also on board, but
was saved. The steamer, while coming through the draw of the rail road bridge at
Davenport, struck the pier and was wrecked. At first it was believed all the
passengers were saved but it was found when too late, that Mrs. Weaver and the child
were drowned. The deceased is truly mourned by many friends in this county, by whom
she was known and loved.
