Read More	IRA WIANT and his twin brother, Asa, were the youngest children of Adam and Mary, and were born in the new brick house Adam had built. While they were quite young their sisters Julia Ann and Amanda were married, and when the twins were 10 their brother Ben died. In 1853-4, a line of the Pennsylvania Railroad was constructed, crossing a corner of the farm only a few hundred yards from the house. It was an interesting operation for these boys to watch at 13 years of age. Their mother died just before their 15th birthday, and the household began to change rapidly. In the following year (1856), brothers David, Isaiah and John married, and William Allen died. Their father Adam then employed a housekeeper until the next year, in which he married Ann Comer. When Ann became the homemaker, only the twins were left at home. They were listed in an early census as farmers. As young men they had an old reed organ, and one of them accompanied a male quartet which sang upon request, while the other probably sang with the group. Ira married Sara Gibbs when he was 32, and Asa, his twin brother, married Anna Furrow the following year. Both families established homes in the town of St. Paris. They were among the first Wiants in 1872 to break away from farm life and live in town. In later years their houses were only a short distance apart. Ira became a bookkeeper for a St. Paris distillery and a charter member of the St. Paris Odd Fellows Lodge, organized in 1871. His wife, Sara, was a member of the Rebecca Lodge and was known for caring for the ill in the community. They had two children. Died of consumption
