From "History of Buchanan County, Iowa, and Its People, Volume 2" page 237: JOHN WEIHER. John Weiher, who has lived retired at Rowley since 1910, was for a number of years actively and successfully identified with agricultural pursuits in this county, owning and operating an excellent farm of two hundred acres in Cono township. His birth occurred in Germany on the 3d of April, 1837, his parents being John and Mary (Deikmann[Djekaman?]) Weiher, who were likewise natives of that country. The father, a farmer by occupation, passed away in Germany in 1847, but the mother died in the United States. John Weiher acquired his education in the schools of his native land and there lived for a number of years after attaining his majority, following farming as a means of livelihood. In 1864 he crossed the Atlantic to the United States and made his way to Wisconsin, where he was engaged in agricultural pursuits for six years, being employed as a farm hand for four years and cultivating the soil on his own account for two years. Subsequently he came to Buchanan county, Iowa, and purchased and improved a tract of two hundred acres in Cono township, devoting his attention to its operation throughout the remainder of his active business career. In 1910, having won a comfortable competency, he left the farm and took up his abode in Rowley, where he is now spending the evening of life in well earned ease. Mr. Weiher has been married twice. In October, 1860, he wedded Miss Carolina Ludemann, by whom he had four children, as follows: John, who is a resident of Chicago; Augusta, who gave her hand in marriage to Charles Heiland, of Rowley; Emma, who passed away in 1902; and Frank, a resident of Rowley. The wife and mother was called to her final rest September 10, 1900, and on the 10th of June, 1904, Mr. Weiher was again married, his second union being with Miss Catherine Ossman, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1850. Her parents, Israel and Katie (Garis) Ossman, were pioneer settlers of Buchanan county, Iowa, and here resided until they passed away, the former in 1899 and the latter in 1906. Israel Ossman gave his time and energies to general agricultural pursuits throughout his entire business career. In his political views Mr. Weiher is a democrat, while his religious faith is that of the Presbyterian church. The hope that led him to leave his native land and seek a home in the new world has been more than realized, for here he has found the opportunities which he sought and in their wise utilization has won a gratifying measure of prosperity. He has now passed the seventy-seventh milestone on life's journey and enjoys the respect and veneration which should ever be accorded one who has traveled thus far on this earthly pilgrimage and whose career has been at all times upright and honorable.
