William Vonweg

William Vonweg, a life resident of Matagorda, died Thursday, February 6, 1926, at the age of 66 years, 1 month and 7 days. He had been in ill health for several years but kept at work until just a short time before his passing. He always lived a good, clean, quiet life and had many warm friends here. For years he was drayman for the various business houses and his last occupation was that of night watchman for the county dredge “Fred Robbins.” Surviving him are his daughter, Miss Annie Vonweg, and his sister, Mrs. Henry Schubert, of Victoria.

The day following the death, Rev. S. H. Innes conducted the funeral rites at the family residence and at the cemetery. A large funeral procession followed the hearse to the cemetery where the remains were interred beside the grave of his wife, who passed away five years ago. Many lovely florals contributed by relatives and friends marked his last resting place.

Out-of-town relatives present for the funeral were his sister, Mrs. Schubert, and the Bauer family of Victoria.

“He had fought a good fight, he has finished the course, he has kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for him a crown of righteousness.”

Miss Vonweg has the entire sympathy of Matagorda in his bereavement.
