General Notes: Husband - Israel Weaver

---

He was born in Haines township, Centre County, PA, and in the subscription schools acquired a limited education, his first teacher be­ing James Polly. As soon as old enough to handle a plow he began to assist in the labors of the farm, which he continued until seventeen years of age, when he entered the shop of his cousin, John Weaver, in Haines township, and learned carpet and coverlet weaving. On attain­ing his majority he formed a partnership with his father in that business, which he continued until his marriage. He and his wife began their domestic life in an old log house on a farm, a tract of sixty-five acres, for which he went in debt. Upon the place stood a sawmill which he conducted in connection with the labors of the farm, and he made many valuable and useful improvements on his land, including the erection of a fine residence, which cost $3,000.
He and his wife had no children of their own, but they gave homes to several, in­cluding Lucetta, now the wife of B. F. Edmunds, who was taken when a child and reared in their home, as was also her mother, Agnes, and made her home with them from three years of age. Later they had a boy, Weaver Edmunds. They not only gave homes to the children, but treated them as if they were their own, providing them with excellent advantages. Kind hearted and generous almost to a fault, no couple in Haines township were held in higher regard or had more friends. They were earnest, devoted Christians, faithful members of the Lutheran Church. He was originally a Democrat, but later gave his unwavering support to the men and measures of the Republican party.
