  Kimble county people were shocked the first of the week by the news of
the death of David Robert Weaver, who died suddenly Sunday night, June 7,
at San Marcos, Texas.  He was in San Marcos for the summer with his young
wife and 20 months old son, where he was attending school.
  Funeral services were held at London Tuesday afternoon and the esteem
in which he was held in his home community was evidenced by the large
funeral gathering that attended the last rites.
