JOHN W. WEAVER

     A resident of Douglas county, Oregon, since 1850, was born in Blunt county,
Tennessee, February 28, 1832.  When he was three years old his parents moved to
Clay county, Kentucky, where he received a common school education, and resided
until 1842.  After a short stay in Van Buren county, he with his parents move to
Taney county, Missouri, and there resided until April 22, 1850, when Mr. Weaver,
with his father, mother, one brother and two sisters, started with ox teams to
Oregon.  After a tedious trip of six months -- to a day -- they first entered
the boundaries of Oregon.  July 8, 1851, the family came to Douglas county and
settled on the place now owned by Mr. Weaver, and one year later built the
residence in which Mr. Weaver now lives, and which is supposed to be the oldest
frame house in Douglas county -- a view of the same will be found in this
history.  Here, for the past thirty-two years, Mr. Weaver has resided, and
through honesty and industry has accumulated a sufficient amount of this world's
goods as to allow him to enjoy the comforts of a happy home -- made doubly so by
the presence of his wife and family of three children -- whose names are: 
George Walter, Lulie M., and Frank.
