Editor's Note (Dan Weger): You may notice in the Ikemire obit, it says Catherine had five daughters and one son, one daughter preceding her in death.  Then it names the survivors and only names two daughters and one son.  I'm not perfect, I do make mistakes, but not in this case.

Joseph Marion Weger was born in Honey Creek township, Crawford County, Illinois, Sept. 19, 184_, and departed this life October 13, 1926, at his home in Robinson. He was the son of William and Elizabeth Weger, who were among the early pioneers of this county. His boyhood days were spent on the farm, clearing away the forests and helping to provide a livelihood for the large family of which he was a member. He realized the obilgation he owed his parents and was willing to sacrifice the privlege of an education to assist their efforts to obtain a farm. On November 8, 1874, he was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Armedia McNeece. To this union were born seven children; three of these have preceded him in death, two boys who died at a very early age, and one daughter, Mrs. Bert Davis. The four children living are: Mrs. Maud Walters, Mrs. Alta Baldwin of Robinson, Irene Rundle of Chicago and Carl C. Weger of Glasgow, Mo. Besides the four children there yet remains his faithful, loving and devoted wife, one brother, George Riley Weger, three half brothers, Jesse, Charles and William Weger, and one-half sister, Ann Parker, all of Flat Rock vicinity, eight grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn his departure. He united with the Christian church at an early age and was always in his place at Bible school and church services every Lord's day. He was an ardent believer in the old time religion and proved his faith by being loyal and true to the church at all times and under all circumstances. The weather never got too hot or too cold for Uncle Joe to walk a mile to the Lord's house. His spirit of loyalty has been an inspiration to many of the younger generation and his influence for devotion has been written indelibly upon the hearts of many. To gather about the Lord's table and partake of the bread and wine in communion service with his brethren in Christ was one of the greatest joys he experienced in his Christian life. Everyone in the Christian church knew Uncle Joe and loved to hear him relate the experiences of the early Christians of Crawford county. The church loses in his departure a true and devoted defender of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
