Charles A. Detweiler - "Prairie Lawn Farm," located five miles east of Clinton, 
Missouri, is one of the best appointed farm homes in the county. Mr. Detweiler 
has a home of ten rooms with acetyline lights, and also wired for electricity, 
with hot and cold water piped throughout the house. Mr. Detweiler is a native of 
Franklin County, Missouri, where he was born March 28, 1871. He is the son of 
John J. and Bertha E. (Jones), Detweiler. John J. Detweiler is a native of Berne, 
Switzerland, and left his native land with his parents when only ten years of age. 
They located on a farm in Franklin County, Missouri, and were representative 
farmers of their community. John J. Detweiler married Bertha B. Jones, who was 
born in Illinois in 1845. They established their home on a farm near Washington, 
Missouri. John J. Detweiler died March 17, 1914, and his wife died June 21, 1891. 
Charles A. Detweiler was educated in the public and high schools of Washington, 
Missouri, and afterwards worked for his father in the management of his farm. 
March 9, 1898, Charles Detweiler married Sophia Gephardt and shortly 
afterwards they came to Deer Creek township, Henry County. Three children have 
been born to them as follow: Ruby B., born January 1, 1902; Opal, born September 
2, 1904, and John A., born December 3, 1906. They are all attending school. Mrs. 
Sophia (Gephardt) Detweiler, the mother, was born March 1, 1876, near 
Washington, Missouri, a daughter of John and Barbara (Bergar) Gephardt, natives 
of Germany. They are now farming in Franklin County, Missouri. In 1916, Mr. 
Detweiler built his all-modern home upon the farm consisting of 320 acres in 
Deer Creek and Bethlehem townships, which came to him through inheritance of 
his share of his father's estate. He is an up-to-date farmer, doing his farming in 
the highest business-like manner and getting the best results that scientific 
farming will accomplish. Mr. Detweiler is an independent Republican.
