Wednesday morning, December 9, 1903, at 3 o'clock the community was startled and grieved over the sudden death of Miss MAGGIE WEAVER. Her demise took place at her home one mile and a half south of Michigantown. Death was due to typhoid fever after a brief illness of about twenty-five days. The funeral was held at the Christian church at Michigantown, Friday morning at 11:30, Rev. Ploughe, of Scircleville officiating. Her body was laid to rest in the Whiteman Cemetery nearby to await the resurrection morning. She was born in Montgomery county, November 9, 1883, and was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. AL WEAVER. She was industrious, kind and obliging to a fault. Always cheerful and sympathetic. She told her father when they came from burying her brother, which was only a month ago, that it would not be long until she would be laid beside her brother, George, and her father said she prayed that night and a sweeter prayer was never heard. The time she spent with us was short and her loving ways so endeared her to us that the parting is more than we could bear, but let us try to think "Thy way, Oh, God, not mine, be done." Should we not be grateful that the future is veiled from our sight for: "Little we dream, when life is new, And nature fresh and fair to view," What sorrow a day, or even an hour may bring forth, so is it not our plain duty to make ourselves as pure and worthy of a heavenly home as was our loved Maggie? She leaves a brother, Sam, and two sisters, Mrs. May Deal, Mrs. Kansas Stuart and a father, who is very low with typhoid fever, and a host of relatives and friends to cherish her memory and mourn her death.

DEATH PAYS SECOND VISIT TO WEAVER FAMILY Wednesday morning at an early hour occurred the death of Miss MAGGIE WEAVER at the home of her father Albert WEAVER, one mile and a half south of Michigantown. Her demise was due to typhoid fever after a brief illness. She was twenty years of age and was born in this county. The death is an unusually sad one, owning to the heavy affliction that has come upon this family recently. The mother is dead and a brother of this young lady died of typhoid fever a few weeks ago, the sister caring for him during his illness. The father is now ill with the same disease. She was a highly respected young lady and had a host of friends who will mourn her death. She was a member of the Baptist church at Boyleston. Besides her father she is survived by one brother and two sisters. The funeral was held at the Michigantown Christian church Friday morning. Rev. Plough officiating.
