Early lifeWeaver was born in Harrison Township, Carroll County, Ohio[1] on February 23, 1824.[2][3] He was the youngest of twelve children, grew up on a farm, and attended public schools.[2] He converted at a camp meeting in 1841, when he was 17.[2][3] CareerIn 1847, Weaver entered the Muskingum Conference. In 1848 he was ordained by Bishop Glossbrenner.[2] In 1851 he was chosen presiding elder, and in 1857, he was a delegate to the General Conference at Cincinnati.[2] The trustees of Otterbein College hired him as soliciting agent, a post he served for eight years. In 1861, the General Conference elected him bishop for the Pacific Coast. He declined, preferring to stay with the college.[2] In 1865, Weaver campaigned to be editor of the Religious Telescope. He lost election, but was instead selected by the General Conference to the office of bishop.[2] In matters of policy, he was a moderate, often refusing to take a public position,[2][3] but he was better as a preacher and author. {{quote|As a preacher he excelled. The pulpit was his throne, and when once on that throne he was a master of men. The art of public address was next to perfect in him, though, perhaps, he never studied rhetoric under a teacher an hour in his life. He was a born orator. His speech had the charm of magic, the magic was all divine.In many respects he was of the Abraham Lincoln type - simple in life, unique in style, trenchant in humor, and eloquent and forceful in argument. His very presence in the public assembly was always an inspiration.|W.M.Weekley|1911[3]}} In 1893, age began to catch up with Weaver, and he was relieved of active duties, and elected bishop emeritus.[2] Weaver died February 6, 1901.[3] Publications
