Early Settlers -
Amongst the early
settlers of the township we find the names of such men as
John B. Wells, still alive, hale and hearty, at the ripe
old age of 85 years; Daniel durbin, Theodore F. Warner,
Henry Brill, Judge Ham, Nicholas, Benner, John Light, A. D.
Blythe, Ben Holladay, John B. Evans, W. G. Noble, A. Nower,
John S. Woods; and many others figure in this list of
the pioneers of Weston township. All were men of
enterprise and of that courageous metal of which the first
settlers of a country are composed. Most of them have
long since passed away, but a few remain, "time honored
fathers of a former age," the connecting links between our
day and the pioneer age that is fast vanishing.
