  	Walsh County Record, Grafton, North Dakota, Wednesday, April 19, 1899 Death of Mrs. R. Weagant Mrs. R. Weagant quietly passed away Thursday morning, April 13, at 6 o'clock; aged 65 years; the immediate cause of her death being paralysis of the bowels. Mrs. Weagant's maiden name was Mary Miller, she was born in the month of May 1834, in the county of Lanack (sic), Canada. In the spring of 1857 she was married to R. Weagant. The same year Mr. Weagant came to Minnesota ande settled in Wabasha county and the year after Mrs. Weagant followed. In 1878 they moved to Cass county and from there came to Grafton in 1882. Mrs. Weagant was the mother of ten children, seven of whom survive her; all were present at the funeral with the exception of the youngest, Charles, who is serving his country in the Philippines. Mrs. Weagant was a noble Christian woman; her many good qualities had drawn around her a large circle of warm friends, who extend heartfeelt sympathy to the bereaved husband and children in their sorrow. One of Mrs. Weagant's last conscious acts was to read a letter from her son, Charlie, written in the Philippines; she expressed herself as being bery glad to hear from him, but shortly after began to fail; this was on Tuesday and death occurred as stated above on early Thursday morning. The funeral was held from the Presbyterian church and was largely attended. The casket was literally covered with beautiful wreaths of flowers, silent tokens of sympathy and esteem of friens. Rev. Dr. McDonald preached an appropriate funeral sermon; he referred to the deceased's true Christian life, she had been a member of the Presbyerian church for seventeen years, being among the first to join; and although for the past few years, owing to ill health, she was unable to attend, her good influence and sympathies were there. Rev. Mr. Newcomb assisted Dr. MacDonald in conducting the services. The singing was beautiful and appropriate. Mrs. Robert Miller of Minneapolis attended the funeral of her sister Mrs. R. Weageant; Herman Weagant was here from St. Hiliare, and Mrs Mary McJannett and Miss Lizzie Weagant came from Minot and Mr and Mrs Will Weagant from Cavalier. Miss Lizzie Weagant will remain at home.
