Newton Co., IN Bio

Newton County, Iroquois Township.  From A History of Warren, Benton, 
Jasper & Newton Counties, 1883.

   PAUL WEISHAAR, farmer and stock-dealer, is a native of Prussia and a
son of George and Hannah Weishaar.
   Our subject emigrated to this country when twenty-one years of age.  
He is a mason by trade, but worked thereat only long enough to save 
sufficient money to buy a farm.  
   In 1853, he went for and in 1854 brought his parents to America; 
they died and are buried in Hamilton County, Ohio.
   In August 1855, he married, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Miss Catherine 
Werner, a native of Germany.  Their union was productive of ten 
children--Paul, Anne, Elizabeth, George, Frank, Mary, Clara, Emma,
Tillie, and Rosa.  
   In 1861,Mr. Weishaar purchased 160 acres, which he improved, and
to which he added until he has now 550 acres.  He has good buildings 
and various and many improvements.  He keeps about twelve horses for 
farm use; raises from 4,000 to 5,000 bushels of corn, seventy-five to 
100 tons of hay, and handles, by average, 100 hogs per year.  It will
be seen that Mr. Weishaar is a successful farmer, all of which is due 
to his thrift and toil.
