John Weaver (October 5, 1861 - March 19, 1928) was an American lawyer and politician who served as mayor of Philadelphia from 1903 to 1907.
Early life and career
John Weaver was born in Stourport-on-Severn, England in 1861.[1] After his mother died in 1874, Weaver found his prospects in England to be dim, and emigrated to the United States in 1881.[2][3] On arriving there, he went to work as a messenger boy and later as a clerk at John Wanamaker's department store in Philadelphia.[3]
