BRADLEY C. WEAVER.
BRADLEY C. WEAVER.
Mr. Bradley C. Weaver, one of the most respected of the early settlers of Byron township, died at his home on Monday, June 23, 1884, of liver complaint, age sixty-two years, nine months and three days. He had been ill for several months and his death was expected by his friends, who gave up hope of his recovery weeks ago. He did not suffer severely during his illness, or at least did not complain of pain, but continually complained of a tired, exhausted feeling that clung to him to the last.
Mr Weaver was born in Tolland county, Connecticut, Sept. 20, 1822. In March, 1846, he married Miss Sallie Butler of Darien, Genesee county, New York, and in the same year they moved to their new home in what was then a Michigan wilderness, and began the struggles incident to pioneer life. Being frugal, honest and industrious they were successful from the first, and Mrs. Weaver is left with a competency in the shape of one of the best farms in Kent county. Their only surviving child, Wallace C, who is married, will move to the old homestead and take charge of its affairs.
