General Notes: Husband - Edwin Joseph Weaver


In the common schools of his district he acquired a sound practical elementary education, being graduated from them March 2, 1892. He then became a student at the Fredonia Institute, from which he was graduated in the class of 1899, the degree of Bachelor of Sciences being conferred upon him. He made an especial study of architecture, and achieved some excellent results in that direction. He combined original ideas with the best that had been attained in older times, and the combination was a most happy one. He located in Sharon, Pennsylvania, January 1, 1906, and removed from there to Meadville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, in May, 1911. Among the best known of the buildings he erected in Sharon are: The Sharon Hotel, the Harmony Bank, Lafayette street school and the Jefferson street school. Among his most notable constructions in Meadville are: The plant for the City Ale Brewery Company, and the business buildings for Moore Brothers, Drefus Brothers and the McCroskey Renner Company. He was connected in an official capacity with the Pittsburgh Deposit and Title Company. He gave his support politically to the Republican party, but he never held public office. He was a member of the Park Avenue Congregational Church of Meadville, and was a member of Sharon Lodge, No. 250, Free and Accepted Masons; Sharon Lodge, No. 103, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; and the Elks Club, Sharon, Pennsylvania.
