Weaver, Bert -- Bert Weaver, aged about 16 years, youngest son of Mr. & Mrs. W.E. Weaver, of near Davis, died Monday, in Wayne County, from the effects of a kick in the stomach by a horse, July 15. Some hopes for his recovery had been entertained up to last Saturday, when he took to vomiting, and gradually sank, until death relieved his intense suffering Monday forenoon. He had been working for Emerson Wilson on a farm near Orrville, and had not been home since last spring. On Saturday, July 15, the boy went to the field to bring the horses, preparatory to a day's work. Breakfast being prepared, and Bert and not made his appearance, a search revealed him lying unconscious in the stable. An examination by a physician, who was immediately summoned, showed the unmistakable marks of a horse's hoofs in the region of the stomach. For several days he lay in an unconscious state, but gradually rallied from the stupor, although suffering considerable pain. The past week he showed signs of improvement, but since Saturday death was looked for at any time. The remains were brought home Tuesday, by the grief stricken parents who were at his bedside since the accident, and the funeral took place Wednesday at 10 a.m. from the family home. Rev. J. Montgomery conducted appropriate services at Bunker Hill and interment was made at the same place.

Ross, and for the past two years and a half has made her home with Mr. & Mrs. Elmer H. Ervin. During her last brief sickness she often expressed not only her readiness to die but also her earnest desire to go, she being the last to die of a family of five brothers and sisters.

His second wife's name was Susan Marks; his third wife was Nancy Bowser, to whom he was married March 9th., 1868. Father Weaver was known as an honest, upright, good man and citizen, whose integrity was unimpeachable.

This blessed faith cheered and strengthened him in health, and was his support and comfort in his dying hour. The writer of this visited him during his illness and found him calm, resigned and ready to die. His faith in God's promises in Christ, in a full and complete salvation from sin to him, was a certainty "As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive". For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.' At his request, the pastor of the Universalist church, Rev. C.A. Lander, attended the funeral on Saturday, Aug. 30. A large and attentive audience attested their esteem and love for the deceased. He leaves a wife and ten children, who greatly lament his departure. May God bless and comfort the sorrowing in our prayer. -- C.A.L. [Ohio Liberal: 10 September 1879]

He had resided many years in France, and the history of that country, as well as the language was as familiar to him as that of his own. He had gone to America for a time expecting to return to this neighborhood in a year or two, and settle down for the rest of his life. Mr. Webb had large expectations from his brother, Thomas Webb Esq., a gentleman of great fortune, who resides in Italy, in case of him pre-deceasing him.

His age was 87 years, 8 months and 24 days. His wife died Nov. 21st., 1879, aged 84 years, 6 months and 5 days. Peter Weirick was one of the few pioneers of Richland County who remained among us to this late day. He beheld these valleys, as they were gradually transformed from the forest-mantle of nature into the beautiful fields which now speaks of the industry that prevailed through the intervening years. He beheld the crumbling of the many cabins that sheltered our fathers from storm, and afforded them safe retreat from the fierce animal; the decay of the humble charity of the pioneer heart that hides the multitude of sins, and its place filled by the cold habit of style; he beheld the last tracks of the red man as he bid farewell to the house of his childhood and ventured into an unknown country to seek a happy hunting ground; and many are the things that were and he saw nor more; and last of all he followed in the general train in to the unknown region of the unseen. Peter Weirick was born in Pennsylvania, July 25th., 1794, and came with his parents to Richland County in 1810 or 1811, and they pitched a house of bark which was used until a cabin could be put up. The location was near Haniwalt's mill, several miles west of Bellville. His father built the first saw and flouring mill in Perry Township. The family settled in the woods and without money or provision, and it fell to young Peter to keep the family in meat. In this way he acquired a passionate fondness for hunting, which clung to him through life. Hunting stories were the enjoyment of his declining years. Of him it is said he knew no superior in the chase or the use of the gun. He was married to Catharine Huntsman, who also came to this country in a very early day, July 25th., 1817, by Esquire Amariah Watson, and he became the father of sixteen children, twelve sons and four daughters. They all grew up except one daughter. The last forty-five years of Mr. Weirick's life were spent in the vicinity of Darlington or Hagerstown. He was always an honorable citizen. -- [Bellville Star: 27 April 1882, Vol. 5, No. 30]

About the year 1832 he moved with his family to the village of Petersburg, now in Ashland county. After residing there for about two years he moved to Olivesburg, living there about one year. He then removed to Rome, this county, residing there but a short time, then moved to Ripley, Huron County, where he resided for thirty years, making many friends and no enemies. During this time he lost by death his wife and six children, leaving but a son and daughter to mourn his loss; the son living in California and the daughter in Iowa.

He lived to a good old age, without a blemish on his character, beloved and respected by all who knew him.

Wentz, Mrs. Valentine -- Mrs. Valentine Wentz, of 213 East First Street, met with a fatal accident about noon today. The unfortunate woman had been to the sewage disposal works, east of the city, where her husband was at work and had taken his dinner to him. In returning to her home she came across the field leading from the disposal works to the Pennsylvania railroad, and started up the track to First Street. No. 9 on the P.F. was about due and was coming along at the time she stepped upon the track. Engineer Darby, who was at the throttle, saw Mrs. Wentz as soon as she got on the track and blew the whistle. She seemed to pay no attention to this and he blew it a second time and several times after, but to no avail. He reversed the engine, but before the passenger was brought to a standstill it had struck the woman and hurled her to the side of the track. The engineer states that the last time he blew the whistle, Mrs. Wentz took notice and turned her head about half way around but seemed so frightened that she was unable to move. The train was soon stopped and the dead woman was brought to the Pennsylvania baggage room and Dr. Bushnell was summoned. An examination was made and it was found that her neck and back were broken and that she was deeply cut at several places on her body. Her right leg was also crushed and a scalp wound inflicted on the left side of her head. She had been warned several times about going along the railroad tracks, in returning from the disposal works, and especially with reference to walking on the ties as she was accustomed to do. At the time she was killed she carried a large umbrella and it is thought that this served to deaden the sound of the train. The body was afterwards removed to the undertaking establishment of Wappner Bros., on South Park Street, where is was prepared for burial and then taken to the Wentz home on East First street. Mrs. Wentz was about sixty years of age and has been married twice. Her first husband was John Growmiller and she was the mother of two children, a son and a daughter. The daughter died about three years ago and her son, Philip Growmiller, lives in Cleveland. She was born in Alsace, France, and has lived in the country about thirty-five years. After the death of her first husband she was married to Valentine Wentz, with whom she has lived until her death.
