Newspaper article from THE DOWNEY LIVE WIRE, dated Thursday, February 3,
1968
"FANNIE E. WEISS TAKEN BY DEATH AFTER LONG ILLNESS"
Funeral services for Mrs. Fannie Ellen Weiss, 78, veteran newspaper
woman and a long-time community leader, will be held at 2 o'clock Friday
afternoon in First Christian Church in Downey. Dr. John T. Chase will
officiate at the services, which will be followed by interment in Rose
Hills Memorial Park.
Mrs. Weiss, who had lived in Downey more than 40 years and knew
thousands of the community's residents, died Monday evening in Downey
Community Hospital following and extended illness. She had lived at 8422
Sixth street 33 years.
Born in Beloit, Kansas, and attending school there, the Kansas town
was the site of her marriage to knowles C. Weiss, 58 years ago.
Immediately following their marriage, Mrs. Weiss began her 58 year
associated with the newspaper profession, always working in the news
department.
The couple owned and published a newspaper in Simpson, Kansas, and
later worked on newspapers in Nebraska, New Mexico and Colorado. In New
Mexico, Mrs. Weiss daily met the trains when they arrived in Silver City
so that no news would escape her. She and Mr. Weiss owned a Burns,
Wyoming, newspaper a number of years before coming to Downey in 1921.
For some time both worked on the Downey Champion owned by J. Ed Van
Matre. Later at the request of number of business men, they established
the weekly newspaper, the Downey Live Wire. Many years later they
expanded the paper into a semiweekly, adding The Leader. The Weisses
owned and published two papers until their sale about a year ago.
Next to her family, her community and her newspaper were Mrs.
Weiss's great loves.
Always wanting what was best for Downey, she was active in community
service throughout her life.
She had a strong affection for youth and happily promoted their
projects. One of the many honors she received of which she was most
proud was he De Molay Top Hatter Award.
She was a member of the Parent Teachers Association and the first
recipient of the Downey PTA Council Honorary Life Membership.
Helping organize Downey Business and Professional Women's Club, she
was its first president and was an active member until her death. A few
years ago she was honored by the club by being presented and Honorary
Life Membership.
She was a charter member and one of the early presidents of Downey
Soroptimist Club and was keenly interested in it s projects, particularly
Soroptimist Village.
A member of Las Siervas of the Assistance League, Woman's Club of
Downey, Occident Chapter of Order of Eastern Star., White Shrine and
Rotaryannes, Mrs. Weiss was deeply interested in all of them and still
found time to serve her community in many ways, including service ont he
Downey Community Hospital Foundation board.
For many years she was in charge of the Christmas Baskets project
sponsored by the Christmas Cheer Committee. She was also a member of the
War Manpower Commission.
Mrs. Weiss was a charter member of Downey Recreation and Park
District's board of directors, serving on the board continuously until
recently when she resigned because of poor health. One of her greatest
pleasures was presenting diplomas the district's Tots Time graduates.
The building complex in Rio San Gabriel Park recently was named the
Fannie E. Weiss Recreation Center by the district board and a plaque
bearing her name soon will be placed there.
Some believe the greatest memorial for the veteran newspaper woman
is their lives which she benefited with gift of money or counsel when
they were needed most. Those acts were never publicized.
Mrs. Weiss, co-owner of Downey Stationers, was a member of the
Christian Church.
She leaves her husband, two daughter, Mrs. Norma Wachtel of Whittier
and Mrs. Dorothea Milling of Coronado; four grandchildren, Kenton Wachtel
of Monterey Park, Donna Fraser of Sanford, Florida, Susen Dash of
Honolulu, and Karen Wachtel of Whittier; and six great grandchildren.
