General Notes: Husband - George B. Weaver


He was reared on the home farm, his education being obtained in the sub­scription schools of the neighborhood, which he was only able to attend about three months dur­ing each year as his services were needed on the farm. After the plowing, sowing and reaping were completed, the grain had to be threshed by tramping it out, and this was done during the winter season, so that it left little time for him to attend school. At the age of ten years he be­gan hauling wood by ox-team for his father's dis­tillery.
He began his domestic life on one of his father's farms, which he later pur­chased. In the early days he had to haul all his grain and produce to Lewisburg, PA, and it took two or three days to make the round trip as the road was very rough and steep, and often four or six horses were required to haul a load of fifty or sixty bushels of grain. He remained on the farm until April 4, 1868, when he removed to Rebersburg, where he lived a retired life in a pleasant and comfortable home which he there purchased. However, he still owned a farm in Miles township.
In his political views Mr. Weaver was a Demo­crat, and served his fellow citizens in the capacity of overseer of the poor. He is a genial, jovial gentleman, always cheerful, and therefore an excellent companion. He has endeavored to live peaceably with all men, having never had but two lawsuits, both of which he won. Straight­forward and honorable in all things, he enjoys the confidence and respect of his fellow citizens in a high degree. For many years he and his wife were active members of the Reformed Church of Rebersburg, to which they were liberal contributors, and he served on the building committee at the time of the erection of the house of worship.
