Frieda Weaver (daughter of Willis J. Weaver and Sarah Elizabeth Meredith) was born in 1902 in Georgia. She married John Brooks Shropshire (son of William Henry Shropshire and Mary Vinson) on August 4, 1921 in Centre, Cherokee, Alabama. He was born on March 13, 1888 in Alabama. He died on December 27, 1955 in Centre, Cherokee, Alabama.
John Brooks Shropshire is buried at Neal Hill Cemetery in Centre, Cherokee, Alabama.
There were no children to this union.
She married Mr. Martin.
There were no children to this union.
Notes
John's Find A Grave memorial is not correct. It has the wrong photo attached as well as the wrong wife. The woman attached to him is the wife of William W. Shropshire. I doubt her maiden name was Weaver.
John and Freida were divorced between 1930 and 1940.
