General Notes: Husband - Jacob G. Weaver
He was engaged in teaching school for several terms prior to attaining his majority. He engaged in the milling business March 4, 1861, in the grist mill which had been owned and operated by various members of the Weaver family for almost a century. It has been built more than one hundred years on land patented to General Arthur St. Clair for services rendered during the War of the Revolution, and was afterward owned by John Spring, who built the mill in 1802. It was purchased by John William Weaver, Jr., in 1812, and from that time continued in the Weaver family. Jacob G. Weaver operated it on shares until 1867, when the entire mill was torn down and a new frame building erected on the site of the old log house, and it was greatly enlarged. The business was then conducted under the firm name of William Weaver & Son, until 1886, when Jacob G. purchased the property from his father, remodeled the mill, enlarged the building, equipped it with the latest improved machinery, thus making it a full roller process mill, with a capacity of thirty to forty barrels. He continued to operate the mill until 1892, when he retired and his son, William T. Weaver, took charge of the business.
In politics Jacob G. Weaver was always a Democrat. He served as school director seven terms, and was commissioned a justice of the peace for six consecutive terms. He was the candidate of his party for the legislature, but failed of election, the county being strongly Republican. He was a member of Pleasant Grove Presbyterian church for nearly half a century, and a ruling elder for forty years. He represented his church in the presbytery many times, twice in the synod, and once as commissioner to the general assembly. He took an active part in church matters, being a very regular attendant. He owned and resided on the farm on which he was born, and was highly esteemed and respected by all with whom he is brought in contact.
