General Notes: Husband - Adam Weir, Jr.
He was educated at the common schools of the home neighborhood, and was reared to agricultural pursuits. He had to commence work early in life, and with filial devotion remained with his mother, having charge of the farm, which comprised 300 acres of prime land. For several years he dealt extensively in live stock of all kinds, and was recognized as a thorough-going young business man.
He was a stanch Democrat, and served as school director of his district. He and his wife were members of the Ten-Mile Presbyterian Church.
He attended school in South Franklin Township until old enough to take a practical part in the management of the home farm. He owned 440 acres of valuable land which he devotes mainly to stock raising. He is an extensive live stock dealer and buys and sells horses, cattle and sheep.
