BOWEN & Company, Inc. Indianapolis, Indiana, page 984, under the "Merchants" heading - Simeon Weaver, northeast corner, Public Square.

Lemuel WEAVER, Pltf vs Henry WEAVER et al, Defts. } In Partition (photocopy of the original document will be found in this compiler's #13.1 LITIGATION file folder). The following was copied from the Final Entry: "...it is further ordered that the said Sheriff out of moneys in his hands pay first the costs of this case including a Counsel Fee of One hundred dollars to Geo. A. WEAVER taxed to him and that part of the residue he pay to the said Lemuel WEAVER one equal third part; to Louisa M.

(photocopy in said #13.1 LITIGATION file folder. !ANOMALY: On the north side of the Simeon WEAVER-98 monument, it reads: "Nancy - wife of Henry Weaver-1816 - d. Nov. 21, 1849 - age 63 yrs, 7 mo, 5 da". The "why" of this inscription is indicated by the above Will. However, Henry WEAVER-1816 had a Mausoleum built on Lot #28 - Sect. #45 which, among oth- ers, carries this inscription: "Nancy Chapman, wife of Henry - born in N.J & d. in Urbana, Ohio Nov. 21, 1849 in the 54th yr of her age." Apparently her remains were moved after the construction of the mausoleum.
