General Notes: Husband - Gabriel Weimer

---

In 1812 his father was found dead in the field behind the plow. In the spring of 1815 the family removed to Stark County, Ohio, and in the autumn he entered as an apprentice to the saddler trade in Steubenville, Ohio, where he remained two years, and finished his trade at New Philadelphia. After marriage he settled in Canal Dover, casting his first vote for Jackson. He held various township offices for over 20 years. In 1854 he was elected County Infirmary Director on the Free Social ticket by 1300 majority - was urged to be a candidate for the Legislature, but refused, having great aversion to public office. He was a firm opposer of slavery, and lived to rejoice over its downfall. He was a great friend of Education, giving his children a liberal course of instruction. He was one of the three trustees of Muskingum Conference of Otterbein University.
He joined the United Brethren church and remained a faithful member for over 50 years up to the time of his death. His house was a welcome home for the weary itinerant for many years. He had resided for 51 years on the farm where he died. He was a kind husband, father, and neighbor, and a most liberal patron of the church, having assisted in the building of many churches, and gave largely to church benevolences. His religious views were firm and clear, his personal enjoyments were fresh and vigorous; having a clear evidence of his acceptance with Christ, in his long experience, and held tenaciously to this hope to the end. "Peace to his ashes."
