The Chair at Weaver Bend: Why Julie Weaver Vanished in 1912

A barn-red chair, bolted portrait, and a laminated photograph that looks decades newer than the image it preserves-what turned a 1910-1915 portrait into a decades-long river-side shrine? Who was the young woman named in county minutes as absent in June 1912, and why does her name vanish from every local record thereafter?

In this episode, we tell how a Wednesday morning discovery in June 2003 set a retired schoolteacher on a five-year research trail, exposed a puzzling land transaction recorded in 1914, and forced a fresh look at a century-old local legend. How did a four-and-a-half-acre parcel, a single-dollar deed, and a bolted photograph become the only lasting traces of Julie Weaver?

Person: Julie Weaver
Date: Born June 4, 1891; last noted absent June 1912
Location: Weaver Bend, River Road parcel, Kessler County
Event: Chair and portrait found half-sunk at Weaver Bend on June 11, 2003
Status: No death, marriage, or departure record for Julie in Kessler County

- The chair was described in the sheriff’s log as one pressed-back oak dining chair, barn red, with a portrait bolted to the back using quarter-inch carriage bolts and wing nuts.
- The portrait shows a girl roughly nine or ten years old in a white blouse with dark hair parted on the left; there was no name on the back.
- Conservator analysis placed the paper stock and tonal qualities of the original photograph between 1910 and 1915, while the lamination over the photograph appeared fresh.
- County commissioners in 1912 tabled a motion regarding the Weaver four-and-a-half-acre parcel pending clarification of Julie’s whereabouts.
- On June 22, 1912, Raymond Weaver submitted a prayer request at Calvary Baptist with a marginal note added later reading “No knowledge was given.”
