- LEWIS WEAVER
It would be well worth the time of anyone interested in agricultural matters to make a trip through Pike township, Madison county, and gain a personal knowledge of the great number of splendid farms in that section, all in a high state of cultivation, one of which is owned by the gentleman whose biographical sketch follows. Lewis Weaver is known as a citizen who has always been essentially helpful in the growth of the community in which he resides.
Lewis Weaver, farmer, Irwin, Madison county, was born on February 27, 1841, in Pike township on a farm, and is a son of John and Elizabeth (Moss) Weaver. He grew to manhood on the farm and obtained his education at the district schools, remaining at home until he was married. In 1863 he located on his present farm of one hundred and forty acres, which is located eight miles east of Mechanicsburg, Ohio. Politically, he has always been a loyal supporter of the Republican principles.
John Weaver, father of the subject of this sketch, was born on May 18, 1807, a son of George and Elizabeth (Hempleman) Weaver. He was united in marriage, in 1836 with Elizabeth Moss, who was born on February 22, 1817. Mr. Weaver was a native of Virginia, but was married in Ohio, where she died. They were the parents of nine children, only three of whom are living in 1915: William, who follows farming in Pike township; Addie, who became the wife of Benjamin Black, and lives in Pike township, and Lewis.
Lewis Weaver was united in marriage, September 11, 1862, with Celia Lucetta Morse, daughter of Caleb and Huldah (Arnold) Morse, and niece of Elizabeth (Morse) Kennedy. Mrs. Weaver was born on September 23, 1838. She was reared on a farm in Pike township, and was the youngest of thirteen children. Her education was obtained in the district schools. This union has been blest with one son, Harold, who was born on July 31, 1863, and was educated in the public schools. He is now the husband of Myrtle (Figley) Weaver, by whom he has had one child, Celia, born on September 30, 1868.
Caleb and Huldah (Arnold) Morse, parents of Mrs. Lewis Weaver, were the parents of thirteen children, only three of whom are living in 1915: Albert E., who lives at Irwin, Ohio; George, of Mechanicsburg, and Celia Lucetta.
Mr. and Mrs. Weaver occupy a position of high esteem in Madison county and have a large circle of friends in this neighborhood.
