General Notes: Husband - John Wetzel

---

He learned the carpenter's trade with his father, being set to work at a very early age, and receiving but very little education. After his marriage he engaged in business for himself, doing contract work and building many houses and barns. During the winter seasons he would work at the cabinet maker's trade, as furniture was manufactured in those days in small shops, and being a good mechanic his services were always in demand. He was a small man, but, although he could never be called robust, he did much hard work in his life, and left a comfortable competence as a result of his labors. During 1864 he removed to St. Joseph County, Michigan, and remained a few months, but with the exception of this time he made his home throughout his married life in Beavertown, Snyder County. In early years he was a stanch Whig in politics, and later was an equally earnest supporter of the Republican party; but although he was a regular voter he never seemed especially desirous of public office. He was a justice of the peace for a number of years, but finally declined to serve longer.
