Zebulon Weaver

Zebulon Weaver

Zebulon Weaver (12 May 1872 - 29 October 1948) was a Democratic U.S. Congressman from North Carolina between 1917 and 1929 and between 1931 and 1947.

Born in Weaverville, North Carolina, Weaver attended public schools, Weaver College, and then the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he studied law. He was admitted to the bar in 1894 and practiced law in Asheville, North Carolina.

Weaver was elected to the North Carolina House of Representatives in 1906 and 1908 before being elected to the North Carolina Senate in 1912, serving a single term. He was elected to the U.S. House from North Carolina's 10th congressional district in 1916 and served for almost two years. But his election was contested by James J. Britt, who was seated for the last four days (between March 1, 1919 and March 4, 1919) of the 65th United States Congress.

Weaver was then elected to four more Congresses until he was defeated for re-election in 1928 by Republican George M. Pritchard. He recaptured his seat in 1930 and served eight more terms in Congress (1931-1947) until losing a battle for the renomination in 1946. He returned to practicing law in Asheville until his death in 1948. Weaver was a member of the Knights of Pythias.
