Weller, Mary Lingenfelter - Montgomery Co News, Hillsboro , IL , 16 Apr 1886

Obituary

Mrs Mary Weller was born in Frederick County, Maryland, April 13^th AD

1802, and died April 13^th AD 1886 , which makes her 84 years old on the day of

her death. Before she was married, she moved to the State of Ohio , Stark

County, near Canton in 1813. She was married to John Weller, on Easter Sunday,

April, AD 1820. She joined the Eva Lutheran Church at the age of twenty years,

in Canton , Ohio . Lived in the State of Ohio twenty-seven years, and then with her

husband moved to the State of Illinois , March 1840. She was left a widow by the

death of her husband on March 7^th, 1843 , and in 1844 she was married to Joseph

Weber. In 1853 she was left a widow again by the death of her second husband.

There was born to her ten children, seven of whom survive her. She has

eighty-three grand children, twenty-one of whom are dead, and fifty-nine great

grand children, ten of whom are dead.

Mother Weller united with the St John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in

Montgomery County , Ills, in the year 1850.

It is due to say of the deceased by the writer that he served as pastor of

St John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church five years during which time Mother

Weller was an attentive hearer of the gospel and when visited by her pastor she

was kind and unassuming.

On the 14^th day of April at 3 o’clock pm her corpse was brought to St

John’s Church and placed in front of the pulpit. After a discourse was delivered

by the writer from these words, “She is not dead, but sleepeth.” Luke 8-52

The house was crowded and the audience gave undivided attention to the

preached word. It is our heart’s desire and prayer to God that all the bereaved

friends and relatives who gave such marked attention may from this time forward

prepare to meet Mother Weller on the banks of deliverance in the new bright

world. AMEN. J B Cramer
