He is a man who has never permitted obstacles to stand in his way, while at the same time he has been watchful of the interests of the township and county in which he resides. His life has been one of unceasing industry and perseverance and the systematic and honorable methods which he has followed have won him the unbounded confidence of his neighbors, and all those with whom he has had dealings. Chris Weiland, the son of John and Mary (Nepper) Weiland, was born in Winnesheik county, Iowa, March 30, 1875. His father was born in Belgium and his mother in Ohio, his father coming to this country at the age of nineteen and locating in New York state. John Weiland worked by the day for about a year in the state of New York, and then traveled over the country, seeking a place to locate. His wanderings finally brought him to Shelby county, Iowa, and for six months he lived in Westphalia, later moving to Harlan, where he was engaged in business for twelve years. In 1887 he disposed of this business and moved to a farm in Union township, where he purchased one hundred and sixty acres and farmed it successfully until 1902, when he retired from active work and moved to Earling, where he and his wife are now living surrounded by all the comforts and conveniences of modern life. John Weiland and wife were the parents of seven children: John, who was killed on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad by being run over by a train; Frank and Maggie, who died in infancy; Katherine, the wife of Henry Schleier; Mary, the wife of John Langenfeld; Jacob, who married Kate Kuhl, and Chris, whose history is here presented. Chris Weiland received his education in the schools of Westphalia and Harlan and then completed his schooling in Earling after his parents moved to that place. He was twelve years of age when his father moved to the farm in Union township, and his whole life since that time has been spent upon the same farm. His father retired to Earling in 1902, and since that time he has taken active charge of the farm, managing it in such a way as to produce excellent results. Mr. Weiland was married November 28, 1899, to Mary Kuhl, and to this union have been born four children: Iva, Arthur, Julius and John, all of whom are with their parents. Mr. Weiland is allied with the Democratic party, but has never been active in political affairs, preferring to devote his entire time and attention to his agricultural interests. He and his family are earnest members of the Catholic church and Mr. Weiland is actively identified with the Knights of Columbus, being a trustee in the council at the present time. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From Centennial Book: "1881-1981 Progress is our Future Earling, Iowa" Transcribed by Marthann Kohl-Fuhs CHRIS WEILAND FAMILY Chris Weiland, son of John B.
