Enid Daily Wave, Monday April 30, 1900
Dr. Joseph Weigl, the well known German physician, died at his residence in Kenwood Monday morning, April 30, 1900 at 4 o'clock, aged about 54 years. He died from a complication of disease resulting from a hard cold settling on his lungs about two months ago; the disease is known as paralysis of larynx and eppolitis.
The deceased leaves a wife and three young daughters, aged from ten to five years old, in not the best of circumstances, yet he owned some property and a life insurance fund of $2000 in the mutual insurance fund of the Catholic Knights of American. Everything known in the practice of medicine was applied for the relief of Dr. Weigl, but without avail. He was attended by Doctors Champion, McKenzie, Mayberry and Dr. Dorsey of Wichita. Dr. Weigl was a devout member of the Catholic Church and a good citizen well respected by all.
The floral tributes to the bier of the deceased will be a cross trimmed in beautiful flowers from the members of the Catholic Church and a floral harp from the Central Medical Association. The funeral will occur from the late home of the deceased Wednesday, May 2, at 9 a.m.
Thus we must all pass away. Peace to the soul and ashes of a valuable and useful citizen.
