Senca Falls Reveille
Friday, November 19, 1915
Mrs. Maria E. Geer
Mrs. Marie E. Geer, widow of Thomas J. Geer, and mother of Mrs. Julia Geer Weigman, teacher in Mynderse Academy, died at the home of her son, Dr. Leroy T. Geer, in Syracuse, on Monday morning, aged 75 years.
She had been in failing health for the last two years, but her condition did not become serious until a few days before her death. Mrs. Geer had lived in Syrucuse for the last twelve years, but a considerable part of her life was passed in Seneca Falls, her husband being foreman of the Silsby Foundry for many years. He was also a member of the board of education. Mrs. Geer was a well known resident of the village, a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, active in all good work, and highly esteemed by a large circle of friends and aquiantances. Her great kindness of heart and her purity of motive were
conspicuous traits of her charecter. She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Julia Geer Weigman of Seneca Falls, three sons, Clarence J. Geer of Pittsburgh, Pa., George H. Geer of Bayonne, N.J., Dr. Leroy T. Geer of Syracuse, and two sisters, Mrs. Julia Powers of Rippon, Wis., and Mrs. DeYoe of Mechanicsville, N.Y. The remains reached Seneca Falls for burial in Restvale cemetery at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon; brief service at the grave by Rev. Deane Edwards.
