COPY OF THE OBITUARY OF RICHARD PICKENS W. WEAVER, WRITTEN BY HIS NEIGHBOR, MARCH 06, 1916.

Richard Pickens Weaver of Kingsville, Rapides Parish, Louisiana, was born September 25, 1843; died March 05, 1916, aged 72 years, 5 months, and 10 days. The deceased was born in Monroe County, Alabama, to Nancy (Patrick) Weaver and Algen Algenon Sidney Weaver, who preceeded him in death. Richard served his country under the Confederate flag during the Civil War. He was a farmer and a millwright.

He spent the greater part of his life in Monroe County, his birthplace, moving from there to Pollock, Grant Parish, Louisiana, on January 01, 1902, fourteen years ago, and later to "Black Jack," his farm in Kingsville, Rapides Parish, Louisiana.

Mr. Weaver's first wife, Emily Martain Weaver, preceeded him in death along with two daughters, Carley Weaver and Vornie Ola Weaver, and a son, Fielding Weaver. He was the father of eleven children, eight of whom survive him, together with his second wife, Mrs. Annie Manerva Partin Weaver.

The eldest son is 43, the youngest, 5. The sons and daughters are: Richard Napoleon
Bonaparte of Mobile, Alabama; Calla Donia Mrs. Willis McClammey of Mobile, Alabama; "Sam" George W. Weaver of Texas; Ida Mrs. Will Lindsay of Rapides Parish, Louisiana; Wilson "Bud" L. Weaver of Rapides Parish, Louisiana; Richard Weaver Jr. of Rapides Parish, Louisiana; Willie Lee Weaver of Rapides Parish, Louisiana; and Guy Weaver of Rapides Parish, Louisiana.

The once gigantic strength of our neighbor had failed already during the past four years, until at last the call for his sole descended from our Creator and rested like a benediction on his tired heart. Peacefully, as if in sleep, he answered the summons to meet his Maker and receive a just reward for a long and well spent life.

'Uncle Dick" was a good husband and a kind father---a hard worker and a good provider. He was blessed with a sense of humor which lightened his daily cares, and many of his quaint sayings will be long treasured by those who knew him.

His remains were carried from the Hixon Undertaking Establishment to the Pollock Cemetery in Pollock, Grant Parish, Louisiana and laid to rest beside his brother and children. HIS NEIGHBOR
