She lived all her life in Dewitt county and was married June 5, 1872 to O.W. Weaver. To the union were born eight children, three of whom died in infancy and one, George Weaver, died in Clinton, January 15, 1919.
Besides her husband, O.W. Weaver, she is survived by three daughters and one son, Mrs. Minnie Irwin, Hallville; Mrs. Grace Samuels, Osage, Iowa; Mrs. Nettie Henson, Springfield, and Warren Weaver, Clinton, all of whom were at her bedside at her death.

Andrews of Clinton.
She was a faithful member of the Christian church of Clinton and her motherly interest was manifested, not only in her own children, but the fact that she had give a home and care to five children not her own. She was a good mother and those who came in contact with her knew her best.
