It is well kept and still used. Copied July 13, 1964 by Esther W. Powell. The History of Stark County by W.H. Perrin, 1881 states: "The Lutherans and German Reformers were the first religious sects to organize the township. In the fall of 1806 Elder Stough held a meeting in the house of Jacob Loutzenheiser, and here the seed was first sown that had produced so abundantly and well. The first church was built in about the year 1809 by the combined societies, on the land of Henry Warstler, and was named in honor of this man "Henry's Church." Services were held alternately by Rev. Benjamin Foust, of the German Reformed Society, and Rev. Anthony Weaver of the Lutheran. A constitution was framed and signed by the following persons: Christopher Beard, Mathias Bauer, George Beard, John Everhard, Adam & Jacob Essig, Michael Holtz, Christopher Hennig, John Holtz, John Holm, Michael Holtz, Jr., Philip Hollenbeck, George Greasemor, Jacob Lam, Christian Krum, Abraham Miller, John Ringer, Conrad Ruffner, Peter Schneider, John Stickler, Nicholas Schneider, Jacob Schneider, Adam Schmidt, Peter Troxel, Christopher Warstler, Henry Warstler, George Wertenberger, Jacob Warstler, Antonius Weyer, Adam Werner. After a number of years, the two sects separating, the Reformers built a church in the northern part, and the Lutherans retained the old church. The Zion Church was built in the village."

WEAVER - STARK COUNTY HISTORY OF OHIO The American Historical Society, Inc., 1925 Volume III, page 356 JACK H. WEAVER. In connection with engineering firms and contractors and also through individual practice Jack H. Weaver had a long and thorough experience in civil engineering, an experience which he has utilized to the benefit of Summit County since his election as county engineer and surveyor. When Mr. Weaver became county engineer and surveyor Summit County had just thirty-six miles of improved highway; since then and under the supervision of his office this mileage of improved roads has been increased to more than eighty. He has been the engineer handling several difficult projects in public works. He completed the big viaduct over the Cuyahoga River, connecting Akron with North Hill, an engineering and construction project costing $2,000,000. He also was the engineer who built the viaduct over the Ohio Canal, connecting Akron and Kenmore. The feature of this project that presented the greatest engineering problem was the great depth of the muck which had to be penetrated in order to get a solid foundation for the superstructure. In this Mr. Weaver used pre-cast concrete piling, which was driven through the muck for a distance of 102 feet. Mr. Weaver was born at Mineral City, Ohio, July 25, 1885. His grandfather, Nathaniel Dustin Weaver, a descendant of Nathaniel Dustin, was born in Ohio in 1821, and spent most of his life as a farmer at Malvern in Stark County, where he died in 1893. He was a Union soldier in the Civil war. John Weaver, father of the county engineer, was born in Ohio, August 12, 1847, was reared in Stark County, was married in Mineral City, and shortly afterwards moved to Malvern. He was a cabinet maker by trade. In 1889 he established the family home at Akron, where he continued to work at his trade until his death in October, 1915. He was a republican in politics, and an active supporter of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His wife was Sarah E. Winger, born in Ohio, in 1852. The oldest of their five children was Belle, who died in childhood. The second child is Dr. Charlotte Winger Weaver, a graduate of Akron University and an osteopathic physician, a graduate of Kirksville, and now practicing medicine in Akron under her maiden name. She is the widow of the late Walter Wingerter, a rubber manufacturer of Akron. Jack H., the third child, is the only son. Estella M. is the wife of William W. Martin, auditor for the B.F. Goodrich Rubber Company at Akron. Mrs. Adeline C. Jones lives in Cleveland, her husband being a traffic manager. Jack H. Weaver was reared in Akron, attending the public schools and graduating from high school in 1902. Then followed a four years' apprenticeship as an architect in the Akron offices of Bunts & Bliss, and he also had architectural training under a Cleveland architect, Mr. Ulrich. He put his training as an employe of the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, and was with that great Akron industry in several departments, eventually being promoted to assistant superintendent. He resigned in 1915 to enter the service of J.A. Gehres, civil engineer under Mr. Gehres. He retired from this association in 1918 to open an office and engage in individual practice as a civil engineer and surveyor. From his private practice he was called by popular vote to the office of county surveyor and engineer in November, 1920. His official term began January 5, 1921, and in November, 1922, he was reelected, his present term expiring in September, 1925. His offices and headquarters are in the courthouse of Akron. Mr. Weaver is a republican, and was elected on that ticket, though his evident qualifications for the post prevailed over his party affiliation. He is a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Akron, and is affiliated with Akron Lodge No. 363, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Akron Aerie No. 555, Fraternal order of Eagles, Akron Lodge No. 64, Loyal Order of Moose, Security Camp Modern Woodmen of America, and is also a member of the Akron Chamber of Commerce, the East Akron Board of Trade, the Akron Automobile Club, the Akron Athletic Club, the Akron French River Fishing Club, and the Portage Fish and Game Association. Mr. Weaver's city home is at 958 West Exchange Street and he also has a summer residence, Overlook Villa, at State Mills in Summit County. Among other real estate owned by him is a farm of some valuable land on the Hudson Road. He married at Akron, December 24, 1915, Mrs. Clara (Stegmeier) Wilson, daughter of John J. and Amelia Stegmeier, now deceased. Her father was a painter, decorator and contractor at Tonawanda, New York. By her first marriage Mrs. Weaver has a daughter, Margaret, wife of Roy W. English, an efficiency engineer living at Cleveland. -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V99 Issue #201 *******************************************
