    WILLIAM WETZ, retired tanner, P. O. Germantown, was born in Germany 
February 15, 1824, and is a son of Henry and Christina (Druck) Wetz, natives 
of that country, and parents of six children, five of whom are living.  In 
1838, William began to learn the tanner's trade, which he completed, and in 
1848 emigrated to Ohio, locating at Miamisburg, where he worked at his trade 
four years, thence removed to Germantown, where he followed his trade until 
six years ago.  His father died in Germany and his mother in Ohio.  Mr. Wetz 
was married, December 11, 1856, to Eva Muller, born December 16, 1822, and 
daughter of Frank and Margaret Muller, who were the parents of nine children, 
five of whom are living.  Mr. Wetz is the father of two children, William H. 
and Margaret, the latter of whom died in infancy.  He is now retired from 
active business in the enjoyment of what his early industry and economical 
habits husbanded through the passing years from youth to aged manhood.  He 
and his wife belong to the Evangelical Association.
