History of Livingston County
from The History of Caldwell and Livingston Counties, Missouri. 1886
MARTIN WIETRICK
(Farmer, Section 12, Post-office, Chillicothe).
Mr. Wietrick is among the more recent acquisitions to the agricultural affairs of Livingston county, and yet during the short period of his residence here he has so conducted himself and displayed such advanced and progressive ideas in the way of farming that many older in years and experience might do well to follow his example. His place contains 80 acres, and though perhaps not as large as many others that could be mentioned is improved in a manner above criticism. All these improvements have been made by himself, and the taste displayed and good judgment shown is but an indication of what his future career must be. Mr. Wietrick was born in Wayne county, O., April 14, 1837. His parents were Henry Wietrick, a native of France, and Elizabeth Wietrick, whose maiden name was Blye. Martin learned the trade of carpenter in youth, and for 30 years he followed that occupation in Ohio, gaining for himself a reputation for steady industry and thoroughness in work which has characterized his efforts in later years. In 1883 he came to Livingston county, Mo., and this has since been his home. Mr. Wietrick's wife is a lady of French birth, and one much esteemed, Miss Elizabeth Howell, to whom he was married in 1858. Eight children have been born of this marriage, whose names are: Ben. Frank, Augustus, Mary T., Clara J., John E., Cora, George and Nora Belle. Mr. Wietriek's outlook as an agriculturist is most promising, and everything indicates a favorable future.
