"Mother" Weaver Dead
Conyngham's Oldest Woman Died Suddenly Last Night Mrs. Weaver, the estimable
wife of Daniel Weaver of Conyngham, was suddenly summoned to the Great
Beyond, last night at 10 o'clock. About a year ago she suffered a stroke of
paralysis and had been ailing more or less ever since, but her condition of
late was not such as to cause alarm and her sudden demise came as a great
shock not only to her immediate family, but to her numerous acquaintances as
well. Mrs. Weaver was a grand old lady and lived to the ripe age of four
score years. She resided in the valley all her life and was known far and
near, and held in high regard. She was a Christian woman if there ever was
one and was a member of the Lutheran church. Surviving are her husband and
two children. John Mumaw, and Mrs. Norman Radler.
