The descendants of Eugeneous and Elizabeth Ellyson Weaver held their annual
reunion Saturday at Mt. Zion Community Park.
The Weaver clan in this part of the world are descendants of John Alexander and
Nancy Proudfoot Weaver of Tanner, coming to the area from Barbour County.
The Weaver's came to PA and WV, crossing the Allegheny Divide when there were
only 20,000 citizens in the "west."
One of his sons, Wilson T. Weaver (1858-1938), who married Virginia Poling Weaver
(1861-1941) came to Calhoun, living on Sassafras Ridge.

Talmadge Weaver, executive with C & P Telephone Company; Della married Scott
Burns.
One of the older Weaver's attending Saturdays event was Mae Weaver Jennings of

Glenville State College. She taught school in Gilmer County for many years.
