Weatherly, secretary and treasurer of this vast mercantile concern, was born in Talladega, in 1864, a son of J. J. and Margaret (Smyth), Weatherly. The father was a native of Alabama and was in the post office service at the time the war came on, and in the latter part of the struggle enlisted in the Confederate army. He was born in Talladega, county, in 1833 and was a son of Martin and Martha (Ball) Weatherly. The grandfather was a native of Virginia, but early came to Alabama and settled in Madison county, thence removing to Talladega county, sometime in the twenties. The grandmother was a daughter of Moses Ball, who was a son of Spencer Ball, a soldier in the Revolutionary war. Mrs. Margaret Weatherly was born in Belfast, Ireland, came to the United States sometime in the fifties, and was first married to a Presbyterian minister - Thomas Howell - and after his death married Mr. Weatherly. W. H. Weatherly was reared in Munford, Ala., and attended the common schools of his county. In 1888 he married Alice Stone, daughter of H. Clay and Saille (Baker) Stone. The union has been blessed by the birth of one child - Mary. The mother was born and reared in Talladega county, and both she and husband are members of the Presbyterian church. Mr. Weatherly is a member of the Masonic fraternity and of the K. of P. He is alderman of the city and is one of Anniston's foremost citizens.
