Notes - Nearly eight-one years ago Solomon Weaver was born on Sewell Mountain, Virginia. When but a lad he moved to Madison county, Ohio, where he grew to manhood and became largely interested in farming and stock-raising. In 1850 Mr. Weaver came to this county and bought the farm then owned by Aaron Nagely, a short distance west of this city, where he lived and died. He had a family of ten children, seven of whom are still living. For each of his children Mr. Weaver made liberal provisions during his life, and at the time of his death he still retained the ownership of the 642-acre farm which he bought when he first came to the county. Mr. Weaver had been in feeble health for a number of years, but at no time would he give up. During his last illness he kept up till almost the last moment. He died yesterday morning, and to-morrow will be laid beside his children and grandchildren in the family graveyard, on the home farm. Solomon Weaver was a man who had the respect of his neighbors during his long and eventful life. He was true to his friends. His word was as good as his bond, and in all of his business relations he was the soul of honor. He leaves to his children the legacy of a good an honorable name.
The Clinton Public, Clinton, Illinois. Friday, 25 January 1884.
[6, 8] - Solomon Weaver, a wealthy and prominent farmer, died at his residence, about one mile and a half west of Clinton, last night, of complications of various diseases. He was born in West Virginia, and at the time of his death was eighty years of age. He emigrated to DeWitt county in 1850 and resided there ever since, where by perseverance and industry he amassed considerable wealth. He was a gentleman highly esteemed, and his death is universally regretted by his acquaintances.
