Mrs. Weller was a devoted Christian and a member of First Brethren Church. Before incapacitated by disease she was a regular attendant of the services and took an active part in all religious work. Her lofty Christian character had its deep and abiding influence upon her large family of children and they have a priceless inheritance in the memory of her good deeds.

Two children preceded their mother in death, Rebecca E. Weller, Dec. 20, 1865, and E. A. Weller, Aug. 31. 1864.
There is a large number of grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn the aged woman's passing.
The funeral services will be held from the home at 10 o'clock tomorrow, conducted by Rev. W. H. Beachler, pastor of the First Brethren Church. Interment will be in the Orange Township Cemetery where others of the family are buried.
