Weaver - Wm. Jasper - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

God has seen fit to break the chain of nine links, and taken from us a loved one; but let us remember that God’s will is not ours.  Wm Jasper Weaver, the son of Mahlon and Candis Weaver, was born October 13, 1831, departed this earthly life March 12, about 7:30 o’clock p.m., 1899, age being 67 years, 5 months and 29 days. He was a sufferer of catarrah which drifted into the dreaded disease, consumption. He was a sufferer for about six long years, which he bore with it all, patiently. He was confined to his bed nine months. During his sickness he realized that this was not his abiding place, so he trusted in the wisdom and faith of his dear Savior, expressing himself willing to go at the summons of his master. He was married to Margaret C. John, June 9, 1870, and to this union they were blessed with seven children, all of whom survive and were present at the time of his death; four sons, George, Charles, William, and Burl; and three daughters, Phemia, Anna and Carrie. He leaves a loving, kind, devoted wife, one sister, Mrs. Mary Beck, one brother, Albert Weaver, and an aged stepmother, two half sisters, two half brothers, and a host of friends to mourn his departure.  His funeral occurred Tuesday at 2 p.m. at Mace M. E. conducted by Rev. J. Johnson and assisted by Rev. Riley. The body was laid to rest in the K of P Cemetery at Mace.  The family wished to tender their sincere thanks to the kind neighbors and friends for the kindness that they bestowed upon them during the sickness of Wm J. Weaver. -s
