Excerpt From John Lyle King Diaries-Vol. 7, pp 14-15, May 27th [1857] (See.

KING-0003):

"...I had letters from both Sarah and from Clough [his brother-in-law].

announcing the death of my dear cousin Margaret Weyer on the morning of the.

18th. This was not unexpected news. Home advices for weeks past forebaded it.

The shadow of her death was hovering closely over her life and its flame.

flickered feebly and....it expired as mildly and casually & noiselessly.

as the last of twilight sinks imperceptively into the shadows of the night and.

her spirit passed away as gently as an angel flight into the inefable.

infinite....Distance softened the scars of death....And yet she is linkedin my.

memory as one of the largest and dearest of my remembrances. We walked.

together the road of life for years, step by step.". 1

Margaret and her cousin, John often went horseback riding together, and had the.

same circle of friends.

• Source: S135 WEYE-0005 - Genealogy of the Weyer Family Unknown Publication: Unpublished Note: The author, or authors, of this genealogy are unknown. It appears to have been written sometime after the William Spangler research findings (see WEYER-0003), but how long after is uncertain. The latest date in the document is 1945, the death date for Mary Rodes (Christie) Weyer. Carrie Agnew (Weyer) Haigh appears to have still been living when the document was written, and she died in 1955, so the document was probably written sometime between those two dates. No sources are given for any of the information in the manuscript. This information must be considered secondary at best, and should be considered valuable only as a guide to possible primary sources.
