Abraham Martin Weaver

Birth: Oct. 7, 1896 Death: Jul. 12, 1905 Churchtown Lancaster County Pennsylvania, USA

Weaver.--Abraham M., son of Benjamin and Mary Weaver and grandson of Bish. Benjamin Weaver, died near Churchtown, Pa., July 12, 1905, aged 8 y. 8 m. 16 d. Little Abraham was a regular attendant at Sunday School, one of those whose conception of spiritual things was far beyond his years. He would ask his parents to get up at night and sing and pray, and expressed himself satisfied as the Lord will. He had been afflicted for eight months with rheumatism, heart disease, and dropsy. During the last six months prior to his departure the physicians performed four operations, but all to no avail. God in His mercy has taken him home. May He comfort the bereaved parents. Funeral services at Weaverland church were conducted by I. B. Good and J. M. Souder. Text, "Suffer little children to come unto me."
