known over a large section of this part of the state, died at his
home five miles northeast of Hooper at 11:45 Thursday night, June
12 at the age of 67 years, 3 months and 5 days. Heart trouble, from
which he had been a sufferer for some time, was the cause of his
death. His demise was sudden as before being taken ill about 11:30
that night he had been feeling as well as usual and shortly before
had returned from a visit at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Chas.
Claasen. When taken with his last illness medical assistance was at
once summoned, but death ensued a few minutes before the physician
could reach the home. In claiming Mr. Weigle, death took from this
vicinity a man who was highly respected by the entire community and
another name has been stricken from the fast and ever lessening
roll of old settlers. He was a man of generous impulses and never
forgot the generous hospitable ways of the pioneer. He was also a
man that bore the adversity of early days bravely and enjoyed
prosperity quietly, and in filling the various relations in life of
husband, father, brother and friend he was ever loving, kind and
helpful. He did much in his quiet way to further the interest of
this community into the strong position it holds today. He served
for 26 years as a member of the district school board, and was
still serving in that capacity at the time of his death.
Mr. Weigle was born at Long Grove, Ill., on March 7, 1857. When but
a child of eighteen months he came with his parents to Nebraska and
located on the well known Weigle homestead two miles north of town
which is now farmed by his brother, Gus. There he grew to manhood
enduring with his elders the trials of pioneering. In 1883 he was
united in marriage to Miss Augusta Dickman. To this union eight
children were born, one daughter dying in infancy, seven children
remaining to mourn with the widow, a father and husband, who was
beloved by all. The surviving children are: Mrs. John Hankins, of
Stanton; Mrs. Wm. Edelman, of Fremont; Mrs. Fred Daubert, of
Oakland; Albert, who lives at home; Mrs. N. A. Nelson, Mrs. E. J.
Nelson and Mrs. Charles Claasen, of this vicinity. He is also
survived by one brother, Gus, and two sisters, Mesdames Henry and
Jacob Schwab of Hooper, and one sister, Mrs. Adam Schwab of Fort
Lupton, Colo., who arrived here Sunday to attend the funeral.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon, with short services at 1:30
at the late home and at 2 o'clock at Grace Lutheran church, the
Pastor, Rev. R. W. Livers preaching the words to the sorrowing
family and relatives. The services were attended by a very large
number of friends who thus silently paid their last respect to the
man they had learned to esteem. Pall bearers were members from the
Sons of Hermann Lodge of which he was a member. Interment was made
in the Hooper cemetery.
