The news of the death of Mrs. Peter Weber came as a great shock to her relatives, and many friends and relatives in this city and community, and expressions of sorrow were heard on every hand. As stated in these columns last week. Mrs. Weber was stricken with strangular hernia and suffered intense pain. On Tuesday evening she was taken to the Moulton hospital at Bellevue where she underwent an operation the same evening. She has been troubled with asthma and heart trouble for some time, but passed thru the operation fairly well and didn't seem to be in any pain, but not much hope was held out for her recovery and on Sunday night her condition became alarming, heart trouble resulted in her death Monday morning, Jan. 17, 1921, at 3:00. Her remains were taken to the home the same day.

Miss Susan Capesius, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Capesius was born in Centerville, Prairie Springs Township, Jackson county in February, 1867, being aged 53 years and eleven months old.
