Friday night Jeremiah Weaver died suddenly at his home near Mt Rock, and was  
buried Monday morning at Conewago. He was born, June 14, 1819.  He was a  
wood-cutter and shingle-maker, having worked in all the long stretch of  
woods that used to extend across Mount Pleasant township from New Oxford to  
Littlestown, now all gone. 
He was a son and only living child of William Weaver and Catharine Rath, a  
name that has long since disappeared here. Jere Weaver was first married to  
a daughter of Nicholas Dahlhammer, and his last wife was a Craumer of  
Littlestown. He had eleven children, Lewis, Frank, John, Pius, William, Mrs.  
Buff, Mrs. Martz, Mrs. Vincent Storm, Mrs. Peters, Mrs. Bohm, and Miss Emma  
who remained at home and faithfully cared for her aged parents to the last.  
Mr. Weaver was a good citizen and a life long member of Conewago Church. He  
served in the Union Army during the civil war and was a pensioner.
