JACOB WEIGEL PASSED AWAY
ANOTHER VETERAN OF THE CIVIL WAR HAS GONE TO HIS LONG REST AND WAS BURIED TUESDAY
Jacob Weigel, a well known and highly respected citizen of Sterling for the last forty-eight years, passed out of this life at the home of his niece, Mrs. Sam Schmucker, last Sunday morning.
He was born in Erie county, Pa. September 9, 1843, and died May 16, 1926 at the age of 82 years, 7 months and 27 days. He had been in very poor health for several years.
Mr. Weigel was united in marriage with Miss Henrietta C. Schricklin, at Richland, Mich. To this union were born two children, both of them dying in infancy. The wife died in 1881. He was married a second time on March 5, 1897, to Fanny Spielman, near Sterling. This union was soon broken as the silent messenger called her away to the other side on the twenty-sixth of the following October.
Mr. Weigel answered the call of his country and enlisted in Erie county, Penn., August 28, 1864, to serve one year or during the war, and entered into the United States service at Waterford, Pa., on August 30, 1864. He was a private of Capt. Frank J. Magees. Later, he served under Capt. Harrison Stain, Company I 76 Reg. Penn. Voluntary Infantry. At the time of his death he was a member of Meade Post No. 14, Dept. of Kansas G. A. R.
Funeral services were held from the Baptist church, Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Maguire and the body was laid to rest in Cottonwood cemetery.
