He enlisted Sept 26, 1864. He was discharged May 31, 1865. He was a Private in Co. K of the 47th Regiment.
WEAVER ˆ The longest life is brief, like the rare beauty of a summer day which is prolonged by the beautiful light of the evening time. The bright morning hours swiftly pass, the meridian is gained; the afternoon fades; the shadows lengthen into twilight and twilight into night but the night passes and the morning of a new and never ending day dawns, and "there shall be no night there."
Thus on March 30, 1914, the spirit of Samuel Weaver, the subject of this obituary, was born near Wooster, Wayne county, Ohio, October 24, 1835, and was the third son of Samuel and Mary (Stauffer) Weaver. He moved with his parents to Williams county in his young manhood.
He was married to Miss Caroline Harrman who passed to the beautiful beyond in 1906. Eight children were born to Mrs. and Mrs. Weaver: Hattie E. (Mrs. C. M. Rogers) who with her husband returned from a winter‚s trip in the far southwest in time to see father alive; Amanda M. (Mrs. O. B. Wertz,) Laura B. (Mrs. C. H. Sailer,) U.S. Weaver, Ida C. (Mrs. Simeon Maurer,) and John H. Weaver and Orilla Iantha who passed away in infancy. Mrs. Laura B. Sailer also passed away at the age of 28 years.
Mr. Weaver was converted and united with the English Evangelical Lutheran church with his wife and four oldest children when he was forty years old, and continued a faithful servant of the Master until death took him from labor to reward.
In 1911, he was married to Alice Thomas who survives him. There are also six children, 22 grandchildren and four great grand children who greatly miss him and mourn their loss. He was a kind father, a good neighbor, and was optimistic and had many friends.
He entered service in the Civil war September 26, 1864, and was honorably discharged at Washington, May 31, 1865. But he continued service for his country and his God in the church militant, until he was called from Melbern, Ohio, to join the army in the church triumphant, March 30, 1914, aged 78 years, 5 months and 6 days.
But one member of his father‚s family survives him, a brother 90 years of age.
Laura, wife of C. H. Sailer, at her death left three children, Zenith, Zone and Zeal. All but Zenith were present at the funeral, for whom sympathy was expressed.
It was a great comfort that a number of the children could be present with the father the last few days of his sickness; days that will be treasured as sacred mementoes of his life.
The funeral services were held on Wednesday, April 1, in the Melbern Methodist church and were conducted by Rev. O. F. Laughbaum of the Bryan United Brethren church. Although the weather was inclement, the funeral was largely attended. The services were impressive, the music was comforting, and the G.A.R. ceremony was touching, reminding us that these „boys‰ will all soon be gone.
The burial was at the Brown cemetery, where the body awaits the call to join the spirit in the land where there is no night.
Card of Thanks. ˆ Mrs. Samuel Weaver and all members of his family as mentioned in obituary desire to express their gratitude to all for kindnesses, sympathy, flowers, service of choir, of G.A.R., kind words of minister and others, at the time of sickness and funeral of one dear to us all, in the person of Samuel Weaver.
