Read More	The Columbus Journal, April 10, 1901 DIED WEAVER--Sunday morning last, April 7, at 5:30, after an illness of about an hour and a half, Michael Weaver departed this life at the age of 73 years. Death was caused by the bursting of a blood vessel. He had been at work in his garden only the day before, and seemed in his usual health. Mr. Weaver was one of the early settlers of the city, coming here in 1857. Mr. Weaver was born in Wittenberg, Germany, January 7, 1828. Was married to Miss Dorothea Heckman at Columbus, Ohio, in July 1850. He leaves his widow and the following children: Mrs. Louise Bonesteel of Denver; Mrs. L. Gerrard; Mrs. Cramer; Louis W. Weaver; Miss Jennie Weaver; V.A. Weaver and Miss Clara Weaver. Ever since settling here in 1857 (excepting about two years some ten years ago, when he sojourned in California), Mr. Weaver had made Columbus his home. Here most of his children were born and reared to honorable manhood and womanhood, a family of whom any community might well be proud. One who had known Mr. Weaver well for forty years has said of him that in all that time he had never known of an oath passing his lips, or an expression improper for all the family to hear. "So far as possible live peaceably with all men," seemed to be one of the mottoes of his life. His memory will long be cherished by his acquaintances, who knew him as a sincere and kindly neighbor. The funeral services are to be held at the family residence this Tuesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, Rev. Munro conducting the services at the residence, the Masonic fraternity taking charge of the burial ceremony. The Fire department, of which organization he was a member in 1874, will also be present at the funeral. ----------------------------------- From the web page; http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/topic/resources/OLLibrary/Platte/pages/bios/hpcn0175.htm Michael John Weaver, born January 7, 1828, in the Kingdom of Wurtemburg, Germany, came to Columbus, Nebraska, from Columbus, Ohio, in the spring of 1857, a year after the town was founded and the townsite staked out.
