Hues,
James Nimmo Weaver, ex-postmas
{ter of Bayre borough, and one of the
{oldest and best known residents of
ithe valley, expired last night at §:30
lo'clock at his home, corner of Elmer
‘avenue and Hayden street, after an
iiliness which had its beginning near-
'Iy five years ago. The death of Mr.
Weaver bas been expected for some
{tme, but it was undoubtedly hasten-
‘ed by au attack of the grip which he
‘suffered about a week ago.
His family consisting of his wife,
oge son Desmond of Seneca Falls,
and two daughters, Mrs J. S. Nevin
of Jersey Shore, and Nellie of Sayre,
were at the bedside when the end
came,
The deceased had been a resident
of Sayre borough since 1880, when
he came here as master mechanic of
the Lehigh Valley shops which were
built during that year. He has since
been a prominent figure in Sayre's
history, until he was forced to retire
to private life about two years ago
on account of ill health.
He was born in Easton July 25,
1544, and received his early education
in the public schools at that place.
When the Civil War broke out he
was then about 16 years of age. He
enlisted in Co. D, 129th Pennsylvania
Volunteers and served one year. Dur-
ing his term of service he was cap-
tured by the Rebels and sent to Lib-
by prison, lu which place he was con-
fined for several weeks After leav-
ing the army he weat to Phillipsburg,
N. 1, and entered the machine shops
of an agricultural implement com-
pany and served his time as a ma-
chialsts’ apprentice. Shortly after
completing his time as an apprentice
he went to South Easton and work-
ed (wo years as a journeyman ma-
chinist. In 1561 Mr. Weaver located
in Waverly. At that time Sayre was
nol in existence but the Lehigh Val-
ley had a small round house at what
was theu known as “The Junction”
and Mr. Weaver took charge of a
small force of men employed there-
in. In 1871 the Lehigh Valley offic-
ials appointed him to the position
of master mechanic and when the
shops were built here in 1880 he mov-
ed his family from Waverly to Sayre.
He was appointed master mechanic
of the shops, which posiiton he held
until August 1st, 1888, when he was
succeeded by John Hawthorne. From
1891 to 1893 Mr. Weaver was also the
master mechanic of the Buffalo shops,
in addition to his work at Sayre.
On March 1st, 1899, he was appolnt-
od postmaster of Sayre borough, and
in 1903 was reappointed to the same
iposition. On account of declining
health he was forced to resign the
position of postmaster In December,
1905, but was not relieved from duty
until the following April
Mr. Weaver had always been prom-
'Inently identified with the Republi:
can party and after coming to Sayre
{he took an active part in Sayre's mu-
nicipal affairs. When the town was
‘made a borough ju 1591, he was elect-
ed its first burgess, and at the end
of his term was re-elected. He was
also a school director at the time the
ischools of the borough were being
| graded. %
During his term as master mechan-
{lc of the shops Mr .Weaver formed
{a wide acquaintance among the men,
{by whom he was well liked. He was
a great force in local politics and
ever stood ready to advance the. inter-
ests of Sayre and its citizens. Mr
Weaver was a large hearted man, who
numbered his friends by the score
He was a member of Rural Amity
Lodge, F. & A. M., a shriner, and also
a member of Mallery Post, No, 285,
