WEAVER, Frances & HILL, Lulu

FRANCES WEAVER & LULU HILL
circa 1897

This photo of two young friends was taken around 1897 at a studio called "Miller & Wickerson" (or maybe Nickerson), Scenery Hill, Pennsylvania. The photo is a bit worn and scratched, and has likely kicked around in one box after another since the death of both subjects. Neither girl had any offspring, so no descendants exist to claim this photo, but I hope to find living relatives who'd like to give a permanent home to this lovely souvenir of a friendship.

Frances Anne WEAVER
born: 21 Mar 1879 in Washington County PA
died: 16 Aug 1940 (age 61) in Washington County PA
father: Adam George Weaver (1828-1911)
mother: Elizabeth Wherry (1838-1930)
children: none

The Weavers were a large family. Census records show Frances' siblings are James, Sarah, Clarence, Mary, Adam, Elizabeth, John, and Charles.

We can assume that Frances Weaver never married, since she is buried at age 61 under her maiden name, at the Scenery Hill Cemetery.

mother: Elizabeth Matthews (1846-1926)
spouse: David Luther Eisiminger (1881-1933), married in 1902

Her husband worked as a mortician. After he passed in 1933, Lulu worked as a cook in a Beallsville restaurant.
