    In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and official seal, R. A,. Weller; (Page 3) Hinesburgh Town Clerk Office Feby 1st 1860 at 4 o’clock P.M. received for record; Attest: J. F. Miles, Town Clerk; End of Deed."
    Note: This Quit Claim Deed was taken from "Descendants of Asa Weller OGS Quinte Branch Linda Smith UE" a document at Trenton Public Library, OGS Room – December 16, 2015 (Copied the first 5 pages of the larger document)
    Note: Interestingly enough, this sizeable book (bound with a duotang) contains what its title says “Descendants of Asa Weller” but the first few pages are not about Asa Weller at all but contain the Quit claim Deed of William Weller of Cobourg, who was a cousin. This document serves to confirm that William Weller’s father was David Weller and then we can see that David Weller and Eliakim Weller, Asa Weller’s father, were brothers.9

Gibson left this city for Carlisle on a hunting expedition. Shortly after noon to-day information reached Little Rock that Alderman Weller had been accidentally shot and instantly killed. Later information confirmed this report, and the details were as follows: When they had reached a point on the prairie, about five miles from Carlisle, the horses attached to the hack in which they were riding became frightened and made a short turn. In doing so Mr. Courtney was thrown from the vehicle over the hind wheel. His gun stuck the wheel and was discharged. Its entire contents entered the back of Mr. Weller's head, killing him instantly. The deceased has been a resident of Little Rock for the past ten years, coming here and accepting a position as compositor on one of the daily papers of this city. For several years past he has represented the Fourth Ward in the City Council and was a candidate for re-election next Tuesday, and so popular was he with all cleases that he had no opposition.

  • Death*: 23 September 1901; Cedar Rapids, Iowa, U.S.A.; "An Old Resident Dead.; After Long Suffering L. R. Weller; Passed Quietly Away; L. R. Weller, aged 79 years died at the home of his son, W. L. Weller, 852 Fifth Avenue, last evening at 8:30 o'clock after an illness of years. The elderly gentleman had a large circle of acquaintances in Cedar Rapids and vicinity, having lived here for the past thirty-five years and though he has been near death's door for some time the announcement of the end will come as a shock to many. It was not until Friday, however, that fears were entertained for his end, for though he has been an invalid for so long he had prospects for many months of life. The sudden change in the weather brought on pneumonia and this combined with old age was more than the patient's frail constitution could stand. Death came in a peaceful, quiet manner. He closed his eyes in sleep and never awoke to know or more suffering or pain. All yesterday afternoon he slumbered and those about him were given hopes that he would master the attack of pneumonia. In the evening, however, he commenced to sink and at 8:30 pm life had departed. Up to the time of the end his mind was clear and active, but he was deprived of much pleasure, which might have come to him in this lonely hours, by having lost the use of his eyes. His sight was affected some years back, but he did not become blind until about twelve months ago. Besides his many friends there remain to mourn his death his wife, three sons and four daughters. The sons are J. H. Weller of Minneapolis and George A. and W. L. of this city. the daughters are Mrs. F. A. Simmons of Minneapolis, Mrs. J. C. McClelland of Worcester, O., Mrs. G. C.? ?Lenterman? of Cedar Rapids and Miss Kate Weller, who makes her home with her brother W. L. Weller. The funeral will be held Thursday, but because of the fact that all of the friends and relatives have not as yet been heard from the final arrangements have not been completed. Lorenzo R. Weller was born in Clinton, N.Y., January 21, 1822. From there he moved to Canada, where he lived for some time, but thirty-five years ago, he brought his family here and has since been a resident. He was at one time connected with the Cereal mill and also the B. C. R. & N. but for years he has not been in active employment."

At present every convenience is afforded for a pleasure trip which will well repay you – Mr. Weller starts a six horse coach every morning for the Rice Lake, with an excellent most careful driver, where it meets the Forester steamboat; this boat is under the command of Mr. Weller, Jr., and his attention to his passengers and punctuality in the delivery of freight are earning him not only favour from the public in the shape of praise, but also, we are glad to hear, in a more substantial form.” From the Cobourg Star, June 18 1845, microfilm, Cobourg Public Library.
