Weaver F Schoening was the first born son of Frederick Schoening and Mary Jane Moore. His given name can be traced to his maternal grandmother Mary Polly Weaver. While there is no proof, the author believes that his middle name was Frederick after his father.
Weaver grew up in Ansonville, Jordan Township, Clearfield, Pennsylvania. Weaver had "Wanderlust" and appears to have left Clearfield Co. in the fall of 1860 after the passing of his brothers David and Robert. His destination was Wisconsin to pursue logging.
In August of 1862, heeding President Lincoln's call, Weaver enrolled in the Wisconsin 22nd Regiment, Company "B" at Beloit, Wisconsin. He was mustered in on September 1, 1872.
On March 5th, 1863 he was captured at Thompson's Sta. in Tennessee. He was imprisoned in the infamous "Libby" prison, where he contracted Typhoid Fever. He was released from Libby on April 1st and taken to Annapolis for treatment.
About the end of May 1863, Weaver left St. John's Hospital (Annapolis) and was AWOL. Family records shows that he did return to Ansonville with the hope his mother could nourish him back to health. Military records shows that he was arrested on July 18th, 1863 in Chicago for desertion and was delirious.
On July 20th, 1864 he was wounded severly in the side in the battle at Peachtree Creek, Georgia and was taken to Annapolis. He returned to duty on October 8th, 1864 and was mustered out of service of June 12th, 1865 with the rank of Seargent. Weaver would now continue his wandering.
On January 25 of 1868 He would marry Kate Baker in Perry, Kansas and they took up residence in Roscoe, Saint Clair, Missouri. Weaver dabbled in carpentry, however returned to Shoe Making, a trade he learned from his grandfather Schoening. Civil War Pension Claims show that he did suffer from his wounds at Peach Tree and no doubt lingering effects of the Typhoid. Weaver passed on Nov. 1, 1881 leaving only Kate and no children.
Kate Baker was no doubt quite a gal. Weaver was her second husband and she had three marriages subsequent to Weaver's death. All three were Civil War Veterans and she would care and nurse them until their death, as she did Weaver. The 1880 census shows that Kate and Weaver had taken in an orphan girl. Kate was no doubt a loving and caring person.
