DEATH OF MR WILLIAM WEAVER

We regret to have to record the death of Mr. William Weaver, builder and contractor, which occurred at his residence, The Strand, early on Thursday morning. Mr. Weaver had been seriously ill for a long time, suffering from a complication of complaints, but latterly he had seemed much better, and the end came somewhat suddenly. The deceased, who was a Bromsgrove man, was 56 years of age, and he was widely known and highly respected. He took an active part in public affairs for many years and was a member of the old Town Local Board and afterwards of the Urban District Council. He was a regular attendant at the meetings, and up to the time of his death was Chairman of the Lighting Committee of the Council. In the latter capacity he was engaged in the controversy which arose with regard to the lighting of the public lamps some two years ago, and he also assisted to bring about the lighting of Sidemoor. Mr. Weaver was one of the overseers of the poor, and he has also been bailiff of Bromsgrove. He was an old Volunteer, and it is interesting to recall that he was a student of the School of Art in its early days, and a successful prize-winner. In his business he was popular with his workmen, and in the course of a long career he took part in a number of important contracts, including Rainbow Hill church, Worcester; St. Godwald's Church, Finstall; Catshill and All Saints' Vicarages the Board Schools at Stourbridge Road, Catshill, Lickey End and Dodford; All Saints' Schoolroom; the Big School at Bromsgrove School; Bromsgrove Police Buildings, and the Institute. Mr. Weaver leaves four children, two sons and two daughters, all of whom are grown up.

WEDDING AT HOLY TRINITY PARISH CHURCH

On Easter Monday at Holy Trinity Church, Hinkley, Miss E. Garner, only daughter of the late Mr. John Garner, builder of Hinkley, was married to Mr. W. Weaver, builder and contractor of The Strand, Bromsgrove. The Rev C Davies officiated.

The bride wore a very pretty blue dress and carried a trailing bouquet of choice white flowers. Miss Ada Flavell and Miss Elsie Garner (niece), who acted as bridesmaids, also had very preety bouquets, and wore gold bracelets, the gifts of the bridegroom. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. T. Garner, and Mr. Weaver was attended by his brother, Mr. J. T. Weaver, as best man. A very pretty scene was witnessed after the bride and bridegroom left the vestry, when Master Boyd Weaver and Miss Gladys Garner, who were dressed in white, went in front of the newly-married couple and threw flowers in their path, while outside the Church they were received with showers of confetti.

The ceremony was witnessed by a great many friends, the Church being nearly full. Amongst those present were noticed Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby Garner and Miss Margery Garner, Mrs. T. Garner, Mrs J Weaver and Master Boyd Weaver (Bromsgrove), Mr. and Mrs. T. Guest (Droitwich), Mrs Boulton Brooks, Mrs Flavell, Mrs C Davies, Mrs R.E.Hill, Misses Pickering, etc., etc.

39 - Obituary for William Edward Weaver

THE LATE MR. W. E. WEAVER

SENIOR COURT LEET JUROR

A well-known Bromsgrove personality, and a member of one of the oldest families in the town, Mr William Edward Weaver, died in the General Hospital, Bromsgrove, on Firday, at the age of 91. Mr Weaver was the senior member of the Bromsgrove Court Leet, having been a juror for 57 years, and he had outlived almost all fellow tradesmen in the town amongst whom he had moved when a builder in business in Birmingham Road.

Mr Weaver was a son of Mr William Weaver, who founded the business that is now carried on from the premises between the Strand and the Alcester Road. The original builders' yard was in the Stourbridge Road, opposite what is now Parkside School, but this site was sold to the Shropshire, Staffordshire and Worcestershire Power Company to accommodate their showroom and depot more than 20 years ago. Mr William Weaver carried on business in various partnerships before he set up his own. He was associated successively with Mr Jonathon Brazier and Mr Joseph Tilt, and he a part in the erection of several of the principal buildings of the town including the Secondary School, the Library and Stourbridge Road Schools. He was later joined by his son, Mr William E Weaver, and the latter succeeded him, eventually handing over control to his elder son, Mr W.J. Weaver.

The late Mr Weaver will be best remembered because of a long family association with the Court Leet. His father was Bailiff in 1884, he held the principal office in 1936 and Mr W.J. Weaver, now the Marshal, was Bailiff ten years ago. A brother, Mr J.S.Weaver, was Bailiff in 1921-22, and a brother in law Mr T.W. Guest in 1922-23. Mr Weaver also had a long association with All Saints' Church and served for two periods separated by more than a quarter of a century, as church warden. He was first warden to the Rev F.L.Milward, 1905-13 and later to the Rev E Lumley 1939-46. For a period he was a member of the council of the Midland Federation of Building Trade Employers. Mr Weaver took a keen interest in all local affairs and particularly sport for both his sons played for the Town Rugby Football Club and he was keen on the game of bowls.

He was twice married, the first time in 1903 to Miss Esther Elizabeth Garner, of Hinckley. She died in 1911 and two years later he married Miss Lily Pickering. She died in January 1931, and subsequently Mr Weaver gave up his residence at Ambleside, Stourbridge Road, Bromsgrove, which had been his home for almost 30 years.

Latterly he had been a petient at the General Hospital, and until two years ago he made an annual appearance on Midsummer Day to greet his fellow members of the Court Leet as they marched in procession up the Birmingham Road to open the Horse Fair at Burcot Lane.

There survive two sons, Mr W.J Weaver of Lickey End and R.W.Weaver, of Old Birmingham Road, Marlbrook and five grandchildren.

The funeral took place at All Saints' Church on Monday.
