John P. Weaverling 
 
John P. Weaverling died at his home four miles east of Everett on Saturday.
He was about eighty-one years old.  When a young man, he worked at the
carpenter trade and in the days of the stage coach kept the "Bloody Run"
Hotel in Everett. Soon after the close of the civil war, he removed to the
farm where he died. In August, 1844, he was united in marriage to Miss
Elizabeth Ringle. To this union, nine children were born, seven of whom are
still living, namely; Mrs. William Klutz, of Bedford township; Ebbert C.,
at home; Mrs. Clarence Peck, of Evrett; George P., of the Everett Press;
Gilbert R. and Mrs. Ellis Williams, of McKeesport, and Mrs. Rufus Zembower,
of West Providence township. The deceased was a member of the Lutheran
church. He was a charitable, honest, God-fearing man.

filed in the register's office. Decedent directs that all his personal 
property, except what is needed to furnish a room for his wife, be sold and the 
proceeds equally divided among his children. His wife is to have the income

Ebbert C. Weaverling, who is to take care of his mother during her lifetime, 
and after her death is to pay to each of testator's heirs the sum of $300, 
Ebbert C. and George P. Weaverling are appointed executors
