A. A. WIERMAN, miller, P.O. Arendtsville, was born at York Springs, Adams 
County, in 1827, and is a son of Joseph Wierman, who was a son of Nicholas 
Wierman, an early settler of Huntington Township.  Our subject was reared on the 
farm and in the mill, and received a good education.  In 1856 he went West and 
visited many places of interest.  Returning in 1859 he commenced milling in 
Huntington Township, where he was engaged until 1866, at which time he purchased 
his present mill property, with eighty acres of land, formerly owned by the 
well-known Isaac Wierman.  He is an energetic, enterprising gentleman, and 
enjoys the confidence and esteem of his many acquaintances.  Mr. Wierman has 
been twice married - first in 1859, to Mary J., daughter of John Day, and by her 
he had two children:  Edward and Mary J.  Mrs. Wierman died in 1879, aged forty-
one years.  He was married to his second wife, Ellen, daughter of William 
Heller, in 1881, and two children have been born to this union:  Zora and Maude.  
Mr. Wierman is a member of the Society of Friends, and his estimable wife is a 
member of the Methodist Church.  He is well posted in the current affairs of the 
day, and politically he is a Republican, and votes with that party on all 
questions of National importance.
