General Notes: Husband - Daniel B. Weaver
He attended the district schools of his neighborhood during his youth, his first teacher being Mrs. John DeLong at Wolfs Store. The value of, indeed the necessity for, better educational facilities for the people became impressed upon his mind at an early period, and the free-school system found in him a warm friend. He did but little work away from home, and practically lived there until his enlistment at Rebersburg, August 22, 1862, in Company A, 148th P. V. I. The company went via Lewistown to Harrisburg, where the members were instructed in the duties of a soldier and equipped for service. His first battle was the memorable struggle at Chancellorsville, and he took part in all the engagements of his regiment until after the fight at Deep Bottom, where he was wounded by an exploding shell. He lost three months in consequence, spending most of the time in hospital at Philadelphia, with a thirty-days' furlough home. After rejoining his regiment at Falmouth, he served until the close of the war. His record was a most creditable one, and at his discharge in July, 1865, he held the rank of sergeant. On his return from the front he spent a short time at home, and in 1866 he began farming on his own account, renting the farm where he was born. One year was spent there, and he then rented from John Moyer a farm near Penn Hall. His next removal was to a farm of his own in Gregg township, Centre County, comprising eighty acres. For this he went heavily in debt, but through hard work and good management he prospered, and each year saw the obligation decreased. He finally traded the place for his present property at Wolfs Store. There was a sawmill and a gristmill on this latter estate, and a residence which he occupied for some time; but later he purchased more land and built a new home. He finally owned about 100 acres of land, improved with the buildings mentioned, and continued to conduct the milling business successfully. He and his wife were leading members of the Reformed Church, and for several years he held the office of deacon. Politically he was a Democrat, and wherever he resided he took an active and influential part in local affairs, serving as school director and supervisor in Gregg township, and as supervisor in Miles township.
