JOHN A. WEAVER, M. D.

	For over twenty-one years Dr. John A. Weaver has been among the 
successful physicians and surgeons of Greeley and has large city and 
country properties. He has kept pace with the modern discoveries and 
Inventions in medical science and by the application of his knowledge 
has been successful in many difficult cases. His practice is of a 
general nature and as the years have passed has increased until today 
he enjoys one of the largest clienteles in his part of the state. He 
was born near South Bend, Indiana, August 10, 1870, a son of the Rev. 
David H. and Malinda (Rupel) Weaver, natives of Ohio and Indiana 
respectively. The father was a clergyman and also a Civil war veteran, 
having served for three months during that conflict. He had enlisted 
from Ohio. After completing his term of service he proceeded from Ohio 
to Indiana, engaging in farming in the latter state. Until forty years 
of age he continued along that line, but he then took up the ministry 
and preached as a member of the Baptist denomination until death 
claimed him in March, 1915. His wife had preceded him eleven years, 
passing away in 1894.

	John A. Weaver of this review was reared and educated in 
Longmont, Colorado, whither his parents had removed in 1882. After 
completing his primary education he studied pharmacy in Denver 
University and then was engaged in the drug trade for four years in 
different places. This led to his desire to make the medical profession 
his life work and he therefore entered the State University, graduating 
from the medical department with the class of 1897. In that year he 
located in Silver Plume, where he practiced for two months, but not 
finding the locality to his liking, he came to Greeley and here he has 
been successfully engaged as a physician and surgeon ever since.

	In June, 1900, Dr. Weaver was united in marriage to Miss Cecile 
Rochat and to this union were born four children: John, Jr., whose 
birth occurred in March, 1903; Marian, born in August, 1907; Frances, 
in July, 1909; and Helen, in November, 1911. The family are of the 
Baptist denomination and interested in the work of that church.

	Politically Dr. Weaver is a prohibitionist and is thoroughly in 
accord with the aims and principles of that party. He served for two 
years as county physician and in this official connection earned the 
commendation of the public. He has farming Interests in Weld county and 
also in Idaho and his land is largely devoted to the raising of wheat. 
Professionally he is a member of the Weld County Medical Society. Dr. 
Weaver maintains well equipped offices at 223 Opera House building, 
while the family residence is at No. 1405 Ninth avenue. He is popular 
not only among the general public but has many friends in professional 
circles, who esteem him highly on account of his professional ethics. 
In his work he is always careful in arriving at a conclusion, but after 
once forming an opinion and reaching a decision is quick to act and is 
seldom at fault in finding the correct course to follow. A great many 
successful cases stand to his credit and as surgeon and physician he is 
in great demand.
