General Notes: Husband - J. King Weakley

---

He was born in Southampton township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, two miles east of Shippensburg. He received his common-school education in the home district, where he attended until his sixteenth year, after which he pursued his studies for three terms at the Cumberland Valley Normal School. Returning to the farm in Shippensburg township, he assisted his father until his marriage. He was married at the old Wherry homestead, first owned by his wife's grandfather, Samuel Wherry, one of the pioneers of Cumberland county. This place contained 120 acres, well improved and highly cultivated, and was handed down to Mrs. Weakley through her father. She and her husband settled there after their marriage. It was one of the old landmarks of the neighborhood. The house was an old-fashioned two-story structure, built of stone, with very heavy walls, and though quite old was in a good state of preservation. Not far from the house was a well eighty-six feet deep, which was found when the Indians occupied the lands, and which had an interesting history, of which, however, little was known. It was not even known by whom the well was dug.
Mr. and Mrs. Weakley were members of the Presbyterian Church at Shippensburg. In politics, Mr. Weakley was a zealous Republican, and took considerable interest in town, county and state political affairs.
