Author: Portrait/Bio Album, Whiteside County IL 1885

Daniel Wetzell, general farmer, section 27, Hume Township, was born Sept. 21, 
1815, in Stark Co., Ohio. The record of his parents may be found in connection 
with the sketch of Jacob Wetzell. He was the oldest child and was a member of 
the parental household until his majority. He was married, in Holmes Co., 
Ohio, Sept. 5, 1839, to Mary Beidler, and they have had six children,—
Elizabeth, Margaret, Catherine, Mary A., Martha and John H. They are all 
married. Mrs. Wetzell was born Dec. 3, 1819, in Holmes County, where her 
parents belonged to the wealthy agricultural class. Her mother died when she 
was a year old, and she was cared for until her marriage by her stepmother.   
Her father died in Ohio. In 1855 Mr. Wetzell left Ohio for Illinois, settling 
in Genesee Township, in Whiteside County. After some years' residence on a 
farm, he went to Hopkins Township and was a farmer there five years. In the 
fall of 1865 he located in Hume Township. He has been extensively interested 
in buying and improving land, and has settled each of his children comfortably 
in life. In 1885 he removed to 55 acres on the section where he now resides. 
Mr. Wetzell is a Republican politically, and both himself and wife are active 
in religious matters.
