Margaret Weaver

WEAVER. - On Feb. 6, 1899, at her home two miles south-east of Mifflintown, Juniata Co., Pa., of dropsy, Grandmother Margaret Weaver peacefully entered into rest, aged 86 years, 3 months and 24 days. Buried Feb. 9th, in the graveyard on said Weaver's farm. Services at the house were conducted by Saml. Gayman. Text, 2 Kings 20:1. The deceased sister was married to Jacob Weaver Sept. 24, 1835. Her husband died 20 years ago, at the age of 65 years, leaving a family of three sons and one daughter: Martin Weaver, of Greenfield, Ill., Tobias Weaver, of Elkhart, Ind., Joseph Weaver on the old homestead; all married, have their families, except Susan Weaver, who waited upon her mother at home. Grandmother was a member of the Mennonite Church for 65 years; kept her first drawings of grace unto the end. We trust through many sorrows her spirit is now at rest. In her sufferings and sorrows which were grievous to the flesh, she would comfort her spirit by singing hymn 209 in the old German Hymn Book. "Dearest grandmother, how we miss thee, Since thy face we see no more, Yet we hope ere long to greet thee, On the fair celestial shore."
