General Notes: Husband - Joseph W. Weller


He came to Emlenton in 1837, his capital consisting of about one hundred dollars in money, a tailor's goose and shears, a few needles, and industrious habits. For a number of years he kept a store in a frame building on Water street. He then erected a stone distillery, the second one in the town. This structure was finally converted into a dwelling house, but now stands unoccupied. Mr. Weller cleared away the timber occupy-ing the east end of the site of Emlenton for the proprietor, Joseph Fox, and received as pay the crops for the ensuing three years. He raised wheat, rye, and corn in succession, and thus began to accumulate money. The dis-tillery was erected during the second year of the clearing. When the war of the Rebellion broke out he had on hand a large supply of whiskey, from the duty of which he realized handsome profits. He was a successful busi-ness man whose every venture turned to gold. Mr. Weller was a member of the Reformed church, and politi-cally an unswerving Democrat. [HVC 1890, 931]
He had five children with his first wife; only Henry was still living in 1890.
