Weld who owns an excellent farm of one hundred and twenty acres on sections 19 and 20, Fayette township, has resided in Decatur county since the spring of 1899 and is well known and highly esteemed here. His birth occurred in Miller township. La Salle county, Illinois, January 18, 1866, and he is a son of G[eorge]. W. and Mary (Olsen) Weld, now residents of Lamoni, Iowa. The father is now past eighty-one years of age, while the mother is seventy-eight. To their union were born four children, those besides our subject being: F. M., of Lamoni; Mrs. Phoebe Allen, a widow living in that city; and Mrs. Carrie J. Danielson, of Holden, Missouri. Mr. Weld was reared and educated in La Salle county, Illinois, and early in life became familiar with agricultural pursuits. He has never desired to follow any other occupation and has been very successful as a farmer and stock-raiser. In 1899 he removed to Decatur county, Iowa, and now owns one hundred and twenty acres of productive land on sections 19 and 20, Fayette township, which he has recently leased, so that he is now enjoying a period of well earned rest. Mr. Weld is independent politically as he believes that the interests of good government are best served by refusing to obey the dictates of party bosses. He has done well the work that has come to his hand, and his industry, integrity and public spirit have gained him the esteem of many. SOURCES: 1.
