Bucks County Residents View Bodies
of Weaver Family
More than BOO persons viewed the
bodies of tlie four members: of the
Weaver family, who were asphyxiated
in their home near Krwlnnn, llucks
county, Sunday night, before the burial
today.
Tlie funeral, one of the largest ever
conducted in that section nf llucks
county, was held from the little I'nlon
Hefornicd and Lutheran Church of
Upper Tinicum township, nnd the
bodies were buried in adjoining grave,
in tlie cemetery next tlie church.
The four were William C. Weaver,
twenty-eight years old; his wife, KM
aheth Weaver, twenty-seven yenrs old;
and their two children, Isabel, aged six
years, and Floyd, aged three ears.
They were found dead in their home
early Tuesday nftcra brother had broken
down a ilonr.
According to Coroner White, ol
Hacks county, the Wen vera entertained
relatives nt a fscw learn dinner last
Sunday: and that night Weaver "fixed"
a coal tire for tlie nljlit. The belief of
the authorities is that Weaver turned
the (Inmpcr in the pipe the wrong way,
throwing tlie gas into the house instead
of up the chimney flue, and all four
were suffocated as they slept.
Weaver was a prosperous farmer,
controlling a farm of more than 100
acres, and was identified with different
community interests nnd organizations.
