Good luck and happy hunting.

OLIVER P. WEAVER, A substantial farmer of Johnson township, Clinton county,
Ind., was born in Rush county, same state, September 3, 1846, and remotely is
of German extraction. His grandfather, John Weaver, was a citizen of
Virginia, but one of the earliest settlers of Rush county, Ind., where he
owned 300 acres, and to which he moved from the Old Dominion in a one-horse
wagon, which carried all he possessed in the way of worldly goods. He was a
deacon in the Baptist church, and he and wife ended their days in Rush
county. William V. Weaver, son of the above and father of Oliver P., was
born in Rush county, Ind., February 16, 1822, and was reared a farmer. He
owned eighty acres, which he cultivated with much success. He first married
Susan Williams, Daughter of John and Jane Williams, and after her death,
March 16, 1862, he chose for his second spouse Sarah Walker. The children
born to the first marriage were Oliver P., John, Calvin, William, Isabel and
James; those born to the second marriage were named Lydia, Martin, Elizabeth
and Jesse. Mr. Weaver was a democrat in politics, and died, in the faith of
the Missionary Baptist church, April 21, 1881.
Oliver P. Weaver has lived on a farm ever since his birth. He
received a good common-school education, to which he has added materially by
study at home. February 15, 1872, he married Miss Eva Huffer, daughter of
Henry and Jane (Galbreth) Huffer, the former of whom is a retired farmer and
is living at Hillisburg, in Johnson township. In 1877 Mr. And Mrs. Weaver
settled on their present farm of eighty acres of rich fertile land, well
improved in all respects. They are parents of eight children, named as
follows: Lona A., Lula J., Lillie M., Tennie, Iva M., Roscoe, Cora and the
baby. Mrs. Weaver is a member of the Baptist church, which her husband
liberally aids; Mr. Weaver is a democrat in politics, is a member of the
Hillisburg lodge, No. 550, F. & A. M., in which he has passed all the chairs,
is a dormant member of the I. O. R. M., and he and family are held in high
respect by their neighbors. There is indeed, no more highly respected family
in Johnson township.

Thanks

The article on pages 826-827 is an article about Abraham B. Parker, M. D. I
have transcribed it below. I am cross posting to the Clinton County maillist
so other Parker researchers can benefit:
ABRAHAM P. PARKER, M. D., an influential citizen and very prominent physician
of Kirklin, Clinton county, Ind., springs from sturdy Irish stock. His
grandfather, Abraham Parker, was a farmer. The next in the line of direct
descent was Isaac Parker and his brother, Noah Parker, became the father of
our subject. The last named was born in Highland county, Ohio, September 26,
1823, and he, too, followed farming, entering from the government eighty
acres of land in Tipton county, Ind. He married Deborah Williams, daughter
of John C. and Margaret Williams, and to them were born the following the
children: Isaac who was killed at the age of fourteen; Victoria J., wife of
Joseph Kemp; Abraham P.; Noah A. , who married Miss Stranahan; Margaret A.,
wife of Henry Miller; one who died in infancy; Charity E., wife of Melvin
Keaton; and Cyrus N. The father of this family was a republican in politics
and was a Presbyterian in religious belief. For twenty years he owned and
operated a saw-mill in Tipton county, Ind., where he and his estimable wife
are now living retired.
Dr. Abraham Putnam Parker, the subject of this sketch, was born in
Tipton county, March 16, 1855, and with the exception of two years has always
resided in his native state. He attended the public and high schools of
Tipton until about seventeen years of age, when he began teaching, a
profession which he successfully followed for seven years during the winter
season. In 1874, he determined to enter the medical profession, and the
following summer began reading Dr. M. V. B. Newcomer of Tipton. Thus he
prepared himself to enter the Kentucky School of Medicine of Louisville, in
1876. In the spring of 1877, he began practice in Kempton, Ind. In July of
the same year, Dr. Parker married Miss Nancy J. Bishop, who was born in
Tipton county, September 26, 1858, and is a daughter of William and Rebecca
S. (Butler) Bishop. Three children grace their unionFrank E., born April
18, 1878; Elma born August 8, 1883; and William N., born April 1, 1887.
For three years Dr. Parker practiced medicine and then removed to a
farm which his wife had inherited, and which he operated until 1885. He then
purchased fifty-five acres in Kirklin township and upon it he lived for one
year, when he removed to Frankfort, where he served as deputy treasurer for
three years, proving an efficient and capable officer. He afterward
purchased eighty acres of land, and later sold this and bought 100 acres, of
which about eighty acres are now cleared and under a high state of
cultivation. Wishing to return to his profession, Dr. Parker rented his
land and in August, 1892, came to Kirklin, where he formed a partnership with
Dr. W. A. T. Holmes, this connection continuing until September, 1893. In
the spring of that year, he once more entered the college at Louisville, Ky.,
and after receiving his diploma he returned home and opened an office of his
own. Here he has since engaged in practice and has met with most excellent
success, receiving a very liberal patronage. The doctor exercises his right
of franchise in support of the republican party. He served as justice of the
peace until resigning that office to become deputy treasurer. In 1880, he
was made a master mason, and belonged to Buena Vista lodge, No. 552, F. & A.
M., of Hamilton county, Ind. Both he and his wife are members of the
Methodist Episcopal church.
