A. WEAVER, M. D., druggist, Covington; is one of the firm of Weaver & Kendell, druggists, of Covington, who commenced business here about four years ago, and are now carrying a full stock of drugs and druggists’ sundries, receiving a liberal patronage in their business, besides doing a large practice. Dr. Weaver was born in Virginia in 1822, and his youth was spent on a farm in Montgomery Co., his parents having emigrated to Ohio when he was a babe; he began reading medicine in Canton, Ill., in 1845, completing his studies with Dr. Gish, of Salem, Montgomery Co., Ohio, with whom he was associated in practice about two years; in 1852, he removed to North Clayton, Miami Co., where he practiced eleven years, after which, in 1863, he came to Covington, where he has remained ever since, having a very satisfactory practice; thus, it will be seen, the Doctor has been identified with the history of Miami Co. for more than a quarter of a century. He was married, in 1856, to Miss B. E. Whitmer, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1838, and is the daughter of Samuel Whitmer, an early resident of Miami Co.
