  • Excerpt from "Biographical History of Tippecanoe, White, Jasper, Newton, Benton ..., Volume 2":
    Isaiah Weyand. This gentleman is one of the prosperous and enterprising farmers of Pulaski County, and is deserving of great credit for his success in business life, as it is all due to his well-directed efforts and energy. A native of Ohio, he was born on a farm near Caledonia, in Marion County, June 18, 1831, a son of Daniel and Eliza (Beckley) Weyand. His paternal grandfather, Henry Weyand, was a native of England, and during his boyhood was brought by his parents to America, where he followed the occupation of farming. His children were Peter, Jonathan, Daniel, Mrs. Shaeffer and Mrs. Spiker. The maternal grandfather of our subject was John Beckley, a native of Germany. With his parents he emigrated to the New World, becoming a resident of Pennsylvania. In 1836, however, he took up his residence in Cass County, Indiana, and followed farming, owning two hundred and forty acres of land. His death occurred there about 1855. His children were George, John, David, Isaac, Thomas, Margaret, Eliza, Sally and Polly.

    Daniel Weyand, the father of our subject, was born May 11, 1807, in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, and when twenty-one years of age removed to Marion County, Ohio, where he was married. He learned and followed the hatter's trade in Sunbury, that state, and was also the owner of an eighty-acre farm there. About 1837 he came to Indiana, settling in Boone Township, Cass County, where he became the owner of four hundred acres of land, of which he placed two hundred and forty acres under the plow. It was all in its primitive condition at the time of the purchase, but he succeeded in transforming much of it into rich fields. He was a very energetic and industrious man, although of moderate stature, being five feet and six inches in height and weighing one hundred and fifty pounds. In politics he was a Democrat, and filled the offices of school trustee and postmaster of Center, Indiana. Religiously he was connected with the Christian Church. He died in March, 1894, and his remains were interred in the Kline graveyard at Royal Center. His wife, who was born in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, May 19, 1810, died October 9, 1886. Their children were as follows: Isaiah was the eldest. Israel, born November 13, 1832, died at the age of forty years. Enoch Beckley, born September 11, 1834, now resides in Vernon County, Missouri. He married Phoebe Jane Grant, and after her death wedded Mattie McGee. His children, all born of the first marriage, were Harriet, Eliza, Lottie, Alice, Leonard, Emma, Ella and Nettie. John Henry, born September 28, 1836, and now a resident of Cass County, Indiana, married Sarah Burton, and their children are Julietta, Granville, Florence and Bertha. Simon Peter, born May 9, 1839, died January 14, 1889. Isaac Spiker, born March 21, 1841, and now a resident of South Dakota, married Margaret Needles, who died leaving two children. George Washington, who was born in Royal Center, January 31, 1844, is now an undertaker there; he married Mina Cramer, and their children are Morris, Addie, Hamilton, and several who died in early childhood. Lucy, born June 20, 1847, died on the 2nd of August of the same year and was the youngest of the family.

    Isaiah Weyand remained at his parental home until he had attained his majority and then started for California, March 16, 1852, attracted by the discovery of gold. He was accompanied by Charles Anderson, William Shingles, Isaac Grant and John Fickler, and together they crossed the plains, to Eldorado County in the Golden State. There Mr. Weyland engaged in mining for a time and also conducted a dairy. He traveled all over the northern part of the state, and on the 14th of January, 1865, started for home, making the journey by the isthmus route and New York.

    He then turned his attention to farming, and after renting land for two years purchased a part of his present farm, in Franklin Township. To the first forty acres he has added from time to time as his financial resources have increased until he now owns two hundred and forty acres, constituting one of the fine farms of the county. Of this, one hundred and sixty acres is under a high state of cultivation, and the well-tilled fields yield to the owner a golden tribute in return for the care and labor he bestows upon them. In 1878 he erected his present comfortable residence and in 1891 built a large barn. All the other accessories and conveniences of the model farm are here found and the place indicates the careful supervision of a progressive and enterprising owner.

    On the 21st of December, 1866, Mr. Weyand was united in marriage to Miss Dilena Elizabeth Grant, who was born in Brown County, Ohio, May 15, 1847, and when three years of age was taken to Cass County, Indiana, by her parents, William and Mary (Martin) Grant.

Lafayette Dipin, born July 14, 1879; Boyd Elgy, born May 11, 1883, and Ivy Launty, born February 26, 1885, are all at home. Harry Austin, the youngest of the family, was born July 28, 1886, and died January 16, 1889.

    The family is one of prominence in the community, and the members of the household enjoy the warm regard of many friends. For more than thirty years the parents have resided upon their present farm, and thus have long been identified with the community. Mr. Weyand has led an active and useful life, and through his well-directed efforts has acquired a most creditable success, and won a place among the leading farmers of his county. For many years Mr. Weyand has been connected with the Masonic fraternity. He was made a Mason in California in 1856 or 1857, and after becoming a resident of Pulaski County retook the obligations in Winamac Lodge, No. 262, with which he is now affiliated. Both Mr. and Mrs. Weyand have been for years consistent and valued members of the Christian Church.
