The Funeral of Christ Weist Occures at LaRue This morning. The passing away of Christopher Weist, whose funeral took place this forenoon at his home north of LaRue, and mention of whose death was made in the Star, Thursday, removes a familiar character from Marion County. The deceased was in his seventy-sixth year and drove a stage coach through Marion fifty years ago. At the time Little Sandusky was a city compared with Marion. His route was from Sandusky City, on the lake, to Delaware. For a number of years he resided in Marion, but of late years has spent his time in and about LaRue and Upper Sandusky, and a part of the time at Little Sandusky. Later he returned to this city and lived with his niece, Mrs. John Seitz. Mr. Weist was at one time quite wealthy. He had twelve children and to each of these he gave a farm. His wife died twelve years ago and since that time he has always lived at some hotel. Marion Daily Star, April 20, 1900
