The S. Clyde Weaver company has prepared and sold meat, cheese and other edibles for 100 years, so the family decided to produce a commemorative book. Daniel Weaver Neff, grandson of the founders, wrote the text.
The best story in the heavily illustrated 200-page book is about Neffâs grandfather and business namesake: S. Clyde Weaver. This story has nothing to do with the business, but itâs very funny.
In his childhood, Clyde Weaver and his brother, Norman, worked on a farm in Lebanon County. One day they urged a mule to pull a sled of manure from a barn to a field. The mule had other ideas, as mules often do, and would not move.
