The Angel of Death came quietly Sunday morning, December
23 and took her home above another pioneer settler of River Falls,
Wisconsin-Mrs. Valentine Weisend. She had been in failing health
for some time but her death was not expected Sunday morning when
she had retired for a nap which brought her peace, quiet and rest
eternal.
Miss Sophia Buss was born March 28, 1856,in Greenland,
Skuylkell County, Pennsylvania.
On January 20, 1885 she was married at Big River, Wisconsin
to the late Mr. Valentine Weisend, after which they made their home, at
River Falls, Wisconsin. To them was born one daughter Eulalia, a teacher
in the public schools of River Falls, who survives her mother, the father,
Valentine Weisend having passed away in July 1927. A brother, John
Buss of Big River, Wisconsin and two sisters; Mrs. Celia Hastert of River
Falls and Mrs. John Zelg of South Milwaukee, Wisconsin also survive.
Mrs. Valentine Weisend was a most devoted wife and mother,
an ideal homemaker, a true neighbor and a devout and active member
of St. Bridgets’ Catholic Church. One of her greatest pleasures was to
render service to her church, in both its religious and social phases.
She was ever foremost in promoting its interests and never shirked an
obligation. Mrs. Weisend led a most exemplary life of service and her
absence will be deeply felt not only in her immediate home circle but
among her many devoted friends and neighbors.
“We have loved her in life, let us not forget her in death” by St.
Ambrose.
Mrs. Weisend will be kindly remembered by the older people
as she formerly resided at Burkhart, Ohio.
