Melinda Ann (Warren) Weaver, born February 25, 1813, in New York State, married the English immigrant John Weaver in 1833. In the fall of 1836, while seven months pregnant and leading two children, she traveled with the Weaver family by Erie Canal boat to Buffalo and by sailboat to Milwaukee. John Weaver left Melinda and the children in Milwaukee while he went to the Town of Lisbon for a land claim. After building a log cabin, he brought his wife and three children to Lisbon on March 4, making Melinda the first woman settler in Lisbon. She later became the first school teacher in Lisbon and in all Waukesha County in 1838. Affectionately called Aunt Melinda, she wrote a book about the early pioneer days in 1876 titled Memories of Early Days. She died October 24, 1886, and is buried in this cemetery.
