DEATH OF MRS. WEIR

WELL KNOWN SOCIETY WOMAN

Mrs. Weir, wife of A. Y. Weir, died at her home, 2727 Jones street, Sioux City, at an early hour on Tuesday morning, following a stroke of paralysis. She was forty-eight years of age. Death was very unexpected and came as a great shock to members of the family and her friends. Mrs. Weir had been shopping on Saturday night and up until the time of her death was apparently feeling very well.

Mrs. Weir's maiden name was Ida Elizabeth Perkins. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Perkins, pioneer residents of Le Mars. She was born at Rochester, Minn., on July 29, 1866. When she was 13 years old, the family moved to Le Mars where she attended school and grew to young womanhood. She was united in marriage with A. Y. Weir in 1887 and they lived for a time on the old Moreton ranch and later on the Betsworth place ____ town, which they bought. Following those years they lived in Le Mars and seven years ago they moved to Sioux City to live. Two sons were born to the reunion, William J. Weir and Harold Weir. Besides the husband and two sons, she is mourned by her aged father, John B. Perkins, of this city, three sisters, and two brothers, who are: Mrs. G. A. C. Clarke, of Le Mars, Mrs. J. W. Greer, of Minneapolis, Mrs. Fred, H. Becker, of Sioux City, Milton Perkins, of Green Bay, Wis., and Norman Perkins, of Aurora.

Mrs. Weir was widely known and was prominent in society both here and in Sioux City. Mr. Weir is one of the best known horsemen in the northwest, and is known in many cities.

The remains were brought to Le Mars yesterday on the noon train and the funeral was held at half past two at St. George Episcopal church and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. S. M. Wilcox. The pallbearers were: C. A. Wernli, E. A. Dalton, J. U. Sammis, A. C. Colledge, A. Thomarson of the city, and P. Prescott, of Sioux City.
