After an illness of two weeks from double pneumonia, Mrs. Donia Wills Harn, eldest daughter of Mrs. M. A. Wills of this city and wife of Mr. A. H. Harn of Grand Saline, Texas, passed away Thursday of last week, and the remains were brought here for interment last Friday afternoon in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery. Many sympathizing friends met the remains at the deport and attended the funeral. Rev. G. T. Hester, local Methodist pastor, officiated at the grave, and preached a most touching burial service. "Miss Donia", as she was familiarly known to our people, lived here up to the time of her marriage to Mr. Harn, and was at one time one of the teacher of the Weimar High School. A sweet, lovable girl, possessed of a most gentle, lovable disposition, our people learned to love her very dearly. As a wife she was kind, loving and thoughtful; as a daughter, she was all that a mother could desire, and only the mother and the Savior above know the many loving ministrations she ever showered upon the grey-haried mother at home. She was an ideal wife, an ideal daughter, and one whose friendship was indeed to be prized. To the deeply bereaved husband, mother and family our heartfelt sympathy is extended.
Burial: Weimar Masonic Cemetery, Weimar, Colorado County, Texas, USA.²

Lemoin, “Moiny” Irene Weidman (Werner)
On the evening of October 17th, 2024, Lemoin passed away peacefully at St. Peter’s Hospital in Helena, MT. She was surrounded and comforted by her entire family. Lemoin was 84 years old.
Lemoin Weidman was born in the town of Yankton SD on February 7th 1940. She was the second child, and only daughter of Ruth Augusta Norman and David Werner.
After her birth, Lemoin’s family settled in Stanford, MT. Lemoin graduated from Stanford High School in 1958. In 1959 Lemoin attended Kinman Business University in Spokane for one year earning a certificate in office management. She kept school friends up until her passing. Her childhood friends adored Lemoin because she was such a, “caring and agreeable person”. After graduation, Lemoin worked at her father’s cafe in Stanford. She met her future husband there, Arnold “Larry” L. Weidman in 1960. Larry and Lemoin were married three months later on December 10th 1960.
Lemoin worked many jobs throughout her life, including an ice cream store, grocery clerk, bank teller, and office assistant. Her favorite job was being a wife and a mother. Her son Lowell Weidman was born on December 25th 1963 and her daughter Leslie Lang followed on March 24th 1965. Lemoin’s new family moved a lot throughout the early years because Larry was working on a construction crew for Mountain Bell. The family had a single-wide trailer and truck they would pull from town to town. The towns included Livingston, Wolf Creek, Butte, Drummond, Missoula, Conrad, and Whitehall. Upon retirement Lemoin and Larry lived in Cascade MT, Wickenburg, AZ, Apache Junction, AZ, and ultimately settled with their daughter Leslie in East Helena, MT.
As a Great Grandmother, Grandmother, Mother, Wife, Sister, and Friend “Moiny” was the best! Always thinking of others over herself. Everyone that knew Lemoin would describe her as, “always greeted you with a smile”, “listened and was interested in other’s families”, “remembered birthdays and anniversaries”. Lemoin loved all events with family and friends never caring about what the event was. She wished everyone to be truly happy and always did her part to make that happen. Lemoin will be truly missed by many.
Lemoin, was preceded in death by her mother Ruth Augusta Werner, father David Werner, brother David Werner II and grandchild Cody James Lang.
Lemoin, is survived by her brother Kenny Werner (Barb), husband Arnold “Larry” Weidman, son Lowell Weidman (Missy), daughter Leslie Lang (Jim), grandchildren Shelby Cotnoir (Sam), Sidney Hyndman (Quinn), Sheridan Marr (Jake), great grandchildren Riley Hyndman, Ridge Hyndman, and Leo Cotnoir.
The family wants to thank St. Peter’s Hospital and staff in Helena, MT for the care of Lemoin until her passing. Thank you to Anderson Stevenson Wilke Funeral Home & Crematory for all the help concerning the passing of our loved one. Thank you to all family and friends that have reached out and supported us all through this trying time.
The family has decided to delay a celebration of life for Lemoin.
