Wayne County Press, "Old Peoples Column," Thursday, March 20, 1913, Page 7, Autobiographical sketch of Mary J. Weaver:
Mary J. Weaver, nee Spicer, Sims, Illinois - "Was born in Muskingum County, Ohio, December 5, 1838, moved with my parents to Illinois in 1853. We moved in a little log cabin 10x18 feet. There were 10 grown people and 3 small children so you know we had a lot of room. We moved right into the woods, only 5 acres cleared. There were lots of deer then. My brother killed one and wounded one and got them both the same day. I was married to John S. Weaver, December 5, 1858. I am the mother of 5 children all living, 26 grandchildren and nine great grand children. My husband died 25 years ago. He was a soldier in Co. I 78 Regiment, Illinois Infantry. Have spun wool, cotton and tow. I hold to the Baptist church having joined 50 years ago. I am the only one left of a family of nine children, keeping house and doing the work for three."
