came to this county in 1856 from TN. She died when our subject was small, he 
March 5, 1875. Our subject was reared in TN, and his life has been spent in 
different places and engaged in various business pursuits. For a number of 
years he lived in Mount Vernon (Township) and in Colorado, etc. In the fall of 
1866, he bought his present farm in partnershipwith his brother, M. C.

entire farm of 240 acres. He did not remain on the farm all the time until 
1880; now, however, he giveshis entire attention to it. Mr. Weatherford is not 
a member of any society, but is always ready to aid the furtherance of any 
good enterprise. In politics, he associates with the Republican party.
