Dear Family Trails readers,
It must have been "an end of an era" when Grandfather Weaver decided to close the doors to 50 years of his life in the merchantile business. This newspaper article -most likely from the Daily Home- sums up C. S Weaver's work ethic and that of his children, "In the half century of opening, the store was never closed on a business day."
His scrapbook is filled with letters from friends and merchants around the state expressing their feelings on hearing that C.S. Weaver and Sons would be closing.
Here is a letter from Mrs. S. C. Oliver, 3211 Cliff Road, Birmingham, expressing her sadness of this news.
I love Mrs. Oliver's expressions in her letter…"Those grand ole Talladega days,"and this ultimate compliment she gives to Grandfather Weaver...
"You took the Bible for your rule and it was heaped up, pressed down, and running over."
Grandfather Weaver, thank you for your example.
Love,
Mariellan
