OBITUARY for MARY RICE SAYLOR WEIMER
MARY "POLLY" WEIMER
IN MEMORY
Of Polly Weiner and the Saylor Family of Which She was the last Surviving Member.
Mary Weimer, or as she was more familiarly called "Aunt Polly," who died at her home in Turbett township, March 20th, 1896, was the last survivor of the family of William and Judith Rice Saylor. She was born October 1, 1813, and during the entire period, of her long and useful life, covering a period of 82 years, 5 months and 19 days, she continued a resident of Turbett Township, Juniata County, Pa. On the 21st of October 1839, she became the wife of John Weimer, a mason by trade, and during the entire period of their wedded life they lived in the same home near Church Hill.
Their family consisted of seven children as follows: Thomas Mitchell married to Sarah M. Wilson and after her decease to Lizzie Irwin, residing at Steele, Kidder county, N. Dakota; Cloyd M. and Hannah Elizabeth both of whom died young; William Saylor married to Sarah McCahren, Port Royal; Mary Jane who died in 1867, at the age of eighteen; Gibson Luther married to Martha Bell Rice, residing at Church's Ferry, Ramsey county, N. Dakota; and Samuel Rice married to Clara Bell Jacobs, Port Royal. In the families of the four sons that survive her are twenty grandchildren. John Weimer, her husband, died Sept. 28, 1886.
The deceased became a member of the Lutheran church, of Port Royal, then Church Hill, June 6,1835, and during the sixty years of her church membership she lived an humble, consistent and devoted Christian life.
When her health and circumstances permitted, she was regular and punctual in her attendance at the services of the sanctuary, and possessed an excellent knowledge of the scripture. In her home she was industrious, economical and given to hospitality. In disposition she was cheerful, hopeful, joyful. In addition to the faithful performance of her home duties for a period of half a century, she was a public benefactress to the community in which she lived by her voluntary and efficient services in the homes of the sick and sorrowing. Her loving ministries in the homes of the afflicted will surely not soon be forgotten. The sweet and blessed influence of such a long and useful life in a gracious benediction to any community.
Her latter days were like the ripening of the wheat for the harvest or "the shock of corn that cometh in his season," and her departure from life, calm and serene like the setting of the sun; and we write "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."
Rev. A. H. Spangler, of Yeagertown, her former pastor, conducted the funeral services, assisted by Mr. George W. Kilmer who had charge of the music; and six of the office bearers of the Lutheran church gently lowered her mortal remains to their last earthly resting place in Church Hill cemetery.
THE SAYLOR FAMILY
Inasmuch as Polly Weimer was the last living representative of the family of William and Judith Saylor, and this family through its many connections for fifty years exerted a strong moral and religious influence in Turbett township and vicinity the following historical data of the family is added, a considerable portion of it having been obtained from the deceased.
William Saylor, her father, was the son of Philip Saylor and Elizabeth or Betsy Corl or Coile. He was born in Chester county, Pa., in the year 1781, was married March 20th, 1810, and died June 16, 1858, having moved in his early days to Turbett township, Juniata county, then a part of Milford township, Mifflin county. Judith Rice his wife was the daughter of John Rice and Elizabeth Hench who lived at one time at the Port Royal Bridge, across Tuscarora creek. She departed this life Feb. 14, 1871, at the age of 82 years.
William and his wife were both very industrious, energetic and economical in their habits. He was both a farmer and a blacksmith, his farm and shop being located just east of the line of Spruce Hill Township. They purchased and moved to this farm in the spring of 1823, and it remained in possession of the family sixty-one years or until 1884. He won the reputation of being the best blacksmith in the county, made his own nails and horseshoes and played the violin with ease.
