Text: Mr. John G. Weaver, for nearly half a century a resident of this city, died at his late residence, 936 Florida avenue, at 7:50 p.m. yesterday after several months illness. Mr. Weaver was a native of Pennsylvania, and had reached his 72d year. He was married near Gettysburg, Pa., on September 17, 1840, and with his wife and four sons and a daughter, celebrated their golden wedding a little over a year ago. The couple arrived in this city March 5, 1845, coming over from Baltimore by stage, which was then running opposition to the railroad at a low rate of fare. For some years he was in business on 7th street, and followed the cabinet makers' trade for a long series of years, engaged much of the time for the government departments. With his wife he united with St. Paul's Lutheran Church soon after his arrival, and for some years was superintendent of the Sunday school. He was initiated in Metropolis Lodge, No. 16, L.O.O.F., June 16, 1846 (a few months after its institution), and at the time of his death was its oldest member. He had been a member of Columbia Lodge, L.O.M., since July 1875, and in both orders he was a zealous worker. The funeral will take place from St. Paul's Church, 11th and H streets, at 3 o'clock tomorrow and he will be buried with rites of the above lodges at Congressional cemetery.
