DANIEL B. WEAVER, a prosperous miller of Miles township. Centre county, residing near Wolfs Store, is a citizen of the best type. In the hour of our country's danger through rebellion he served gallantly in her defense, while in peace he has maintained an honorable and useful position among his fellows. He was born July 2, 1840, near Wolfs Store, where his father, John Weaver, a son of John Weaver, Sr., also first opened his eyes to the light.
Our subject's father was reared as a farmer boy, enjoying but meagre educational privileges in the subscription schools of that day, and working upon the home farm until his marriage. His wife, Susan Brungart, was born and reared in Brush Valley, and her father, Jacob Brungart, was a well-known agriculturist living east of Wolfs Store. After their marriage the young couple located on a farm belonging to John Weaver, Sr., where they resided many years, and then after a short stay upon a farm south of Wolfs Store they returned to the farm where our subject was born. There both passed away, and their remains now rest in the burial ground at Rebersburg. John Weaver, Jr., was of ordinary build, but of a strong constitution, and usually enjoyed robust health. He was industrious and lived in comfortable style, but never acquired riches. His honesty was unwavering, and throughout the community he was held in high esteem. As a Democrat he always took keen interest in political issues, being a regular voter, and for two terms he held the office of supervisor. He was a member of the Reformed Church, his wife of the Lutheran. They had the following children: Thomas, a shoemaker at Tylersville, Penn.; Israel, who died in boyhood; Daniel B., of this sketch; Mary (Mrs. John Breon), of Miles township, Centre county; Chestie (Mrs. William Meyer), of Wolfs Store; John H., who died in early manhood at Potters Bank; William H., a miller at Millheim; Maggie (Mrs. John Minich), of Brush Valley; and Charles A., a miller at Osceola, Pennsylvania.
