WOMAN PASTOR WAS

KILLED IN ACCIDENT 

Rev. Georgia Weaton, well known throughout this and adjoining counties as a public speaker, preacher and W. C. T. U. worker, was accidentally killed near Cobleskill Thursday afternoon, when the horse and carriage in which she was driving home to Rossman Hill went over a steep embankment at Warnerville Hill bridge, south of Cobleskill, carrying her down into the small stream below, where she was drowned.
Benjamin King of Quaker Street, who was passing the spot in his automobile after the accident, was stopped by some children who saw the horse in the gully as they were returning home from school. Mr. King immediately investigated and while rescuing the animal noticed the body of a woman in the water. With the help of Wilson McNeal, a farmer who came along at the time, the body was taken out of the water, only to discover to Mr. King’s surprise, that it was that of Mrs. Wheaton, a former pastor of the Christian church, of his village. 

No one seems to have been a witness of how the accident happened. 

Mrs. Weaton was at present pastor of the East Cobleskill church and Albany County Evangelistic superintendent of the W. C. T. U., having lived at Menands for some time, until taking up her residence in Schoharie County recently. She leaves a husband, U. S. G. Weaton, and two daughters.

Watches And Clocks 

Wrong By One Hour 

Sunday begins the summer period of daylight saving time in 34 of the 60 cities of this state. Suburban trains will run on new schedules to accommodate city workers. 

Of the 34 cities all but Utica will put their clocks forward one hour at 2:00 a.m. Sunday, April 27th, and continue so until the last Sunday in September. Utica’s city ordinance provides for daylight saving for June, July and August. Schenectady differs from all the other cities in the fact that they enact the ordinance each year while the others are continuous.
