General Notes: Husband - C. A. Weaver
His education was secured in part at the schools near the old family homestead, in part at those of Miles township, Centre County, PA. Shortly after the death of his mother, the necessity for making his own way in the world became apparent, and when twelve years old he began working for his board and clothes in Brush Valley, where he remained two years. He then spent some time working for farmers and at driving teams, and for one year was a clerk in Wolfe's store. Returning to Haines township, he clerked for B. F. Philips, at Aaronsburg, for a year, and then for the same length of time he drove a meat wagon, but the next two years he passed in the coal region in Schuylkill county, working in a wholesale flour and feed store. He then went to Penn Hall, and remained there six years as clerk for Major Fisher, his next employment being in a store at Shamokin, Northumberland County. Desiring to go into business for himself, he returned to Aaronsburg and engaged in huckstering, continuing at this for three years, later becoming interested in the bottling business and the manufacture of soft drinks. After three years of successful effort in these lines he sold out, and thereafter was in political life. For three years he held the office of assessor, and in 1893 he was a candidate for the office of register, but was defeated. On June 9, 1896, he received the nomination for county treasurer. His interest in public affairs extended beyond political lines, however, and he was always ready to forward any measure for local improvement. He was an active member of the Reformed Church, while, socially, he was identified with the Order of the Golden Eagle.
