WEAVER--SISTER ANNA (HOOVER) WEAVER was born May 8, 1840, near Selkirk, Ont. At the age of 14 years she came, with her parents, to Elkhart Co., Ind. In less than a year her father died, after which the mother again returned to Canada with her family, where Anna united in marriage with Joseph W. Weaver, of Wayne Co., Ohio, on Mar. 9, 1858. She came with her husband to Elkhart Co., where they settled on a farm six miles east of Goshen. After about 10 years they sold this farm and moved to another four miles east of Goshen where they resided until the death of her husband in 1904. After this she sold the farm and moved to Goshen where she made her home with her children. She confessed Christ when quite young and remained true to her baptismal vow unto the end. Six boys and eight girls were born to this union. Two boys and three girls preceded her in death; 62 grandchildren, 78 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren also survive. Grandma, as she was generally called, had a wide circle of friends. She was of a friendly dispositioin and made friends with everyone whom she met. She was very appreciative of even the smallest favor. She enjoyed singing and quoted much poetry. On Sunday morning, Dec. 27, she had the misfortune of falling. She fractured the large bone in her right leg below the hip, from which she suffered much until Jan. 3, 1932, when she passed away; aged 91 y. 7 m. 25 d. May all her descendants profit by her example and prepare for eternity while it is yet day. The funeral was conducted Jan. 6 from the home of a daughter, Mrs. O. G. Lehman, and at the Clinton Brick Church. Bro. D. A. Yoder preached the sermon.
