General Notes: Husband - William F. Weaver


His father died when he was a small boy, and he was adopted and reared by a Mr. Sell, near New Stanton, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, with whom he remained until he had reached early manhood. In 1864, when the Civil war was in progress, Mr. Weaver enlisted and served until the cessation of hostilities. Returning home he learned the carpenter's trade, and later accepted a position in Reeds planing mill in Gas Hollow, where he worked for a number of years. He then directed his attention to railroading, and for some years followed this occupation. He engaged in farming for a time, but after two years thus spent he returned to carpentering for the railroad. In 1889 he left the service of the railroad and removed from Youngwood to South Greensburg, where he engaged in carpentering and building. In 1900 he accepted a position in the Stroble & Walthouse planing mills in Ludwick borough, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Politically Mr. Weaver affiliated with the Republican party. He was interested in educational affairs, and served as president and secretary of the school board. He also served as tax collector, and was at one time candidate for burgess of South Greensburg, but his strong temperance proclivities defeated him. He was a constituent member of the First Baptist Church of Greensburg.
His home was half a mile west of Ludwick borough.
