My first cousin, twice removed, Otto Pardy Weaver, was born 133 years ago on 6 August 1887, in Monroe, Perry, Ohio, to David Shreider and Anne Neusome Weaver.  Otto was my grandfather’s first cousin but I had really never heard of him.   But, his middle name gets him into my blog based on weird names given to relatives.  Otto was the third of four children of David and Anne.

Otto married Iva Axton Simpson sometime before 1930 where she and her 17 year old son, William Simpson, appear as part of the Weaver family in the U.S. Population Census.  Otto died 10 March 1965, in the V.A. Hospital in Otten, North Carolina.  On his death certificate it was noted that he had served in WW-I
