Extract of obituary in the Queenstown Free Press of Friday, March 2, 1894

Obituary; Mrs J WEAKLEY passed away on Tuesday last, after a lingering illness, borne with; Christian resignation and patience. Mr and Mrs WEAKLEY came to Queenstown amongst the first arrivals in 1854, and with others helped to build up and make Queenstown known and respected in the early days of
its existence. Mrs WEAKLEY was one of the oldest members of the Wesleyan Church, and was always ready to lead, assist and direct any organisation
for its good... Some years ago Mr and Mrs WEAKLEY left Queenstown, where they hitherto had been in a large way of business, and took up their
residence on the farm at Waku, where they resided until Mrs WEAKLEYhealth necessitated a return to Queenstown. It was hoped that the change would have been beneficial, but it was ordained otherwise, and the good lady was taken to a better home in the presence of her husband and children, calmly resigned, trusting in the love of her Heavenly Father that she was going to a better world on high. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, and was largely attended. The chief mourners were the husband and three sons (Mr J.B. WEAKLEY, Drs. Arthur and Alfred WEAKLEY, and Mr A.E. WEAKLEY), her son-in-law (Mr Herbert DUGMORE), grandsons and nephews... A portion of the service was conducted by the Rev R. LAMPLOUGH, in the Church, where the Rev. H.H. DUGMORE offered up an impressive and powerful prayer. The remainder of the service at the grave was also conducted by the Rev R. LAMPLOUGH, who was accompanied by the Revs Albert and C.K. HODGES.

7th March, 1894, Catherine Ann, the beloved wife of John WEAKLEY, senr. Aged 70 years.
