Read More	Weaver, Reuben M., son of David and Anna (Musser) Weaver, was born Aug. 13, 1874, near New Holland, Pa.; passed away at the Bethel Hospital, Newton, Kans., on March 5, 1957; aged 82 y. 6 m. 20 d. His death came after 4 months of lingering illness. He was the last survivor of 9 children. At the age of 9 he pioneered with his parents from Pennsylvania to Newton, Kans. Twelve years later he was converted and united with the Pennsylvania Mennonite congregation near Newton. He faithfully served as Sunday-school teacher in the Peabody, Spring Valley, and West Liberty, Kans., congregations. While visiting and working in the state of Pennsylvania one winter he conducted singing classes. In 1907 he was ordained to the ministry and moved to Harper, Kans., where he served as pastor of the Pleasant Valley congregation until his resignation in 1945, but continued as co-pastor until he moved to Hesston in 1952. Other church responsibilities included secretary of district conference, member of Mennonite Evangelistic and Benevolent Board, and secretary and treasurer of the Home Support Fund. He conducted revival meetings and assisted in Bible Normals throughout his conference district. He remained physically active all his life and completed building his last house within the past year. In 1899 he married Lucinda Ella Neuhauser, who preceded him in death in 1925. To this union were born 14 children (Francis E. and Ethel, both deceased in childhood; Joseph N., Media, Pa.; Ernest L., Denver, Colo.; Myrtle-Mrs. Leo H. Hostetler, Harper; twin sons, Truman E., Newton, and Tillman M., Wellman, Iowa; Samuel G., Wellman; Ella May-Mrs. Samuel E. Miller, Harrisonburg, Va.; Bertha-Mrs. LaVern miller, Nampa, Idaho; Dale, Seoul, Korea; Edith-Mrs. Reuben Yoder, Harper; Alta-Mrs. LeRoy Fry, Larned, Kans.; and Anna Ruth-Mrs. Howard Beck, Halstead, Kans.). In 1927 he married Lydia Gerber, who preceded him in death in 1955. To this union 2 daughters were born (Mary-Mrs. Paul Shue, Harper; and Wanda-Mrs. Richard Good, Harrisonburg, Va.). Also surviving are 44 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Two granddaughters preceded him in death. Many difficulties came into his life, but with God's help he uncomplainingly faced them all. When his first wife passed away she left him with 12 children, the oldest 21 years old, and the youngest 15 months. He kept the family together, refusing offers from interested families who wished to take the smaller children. During his illness all 14 children were privileged to visit with him at his bedside, and all but Dale, who is in Korea, were in attendance at the funeral services. Samuel E. Miller, son-in-law, assisted by Ivan R. Lind and Waldo E. Miller, conducted the services at Pleasant Valley Church near Harper. Burial was made in the adjoining cemetery.
