WILLIAM A. WELLER
For many years, William A. Weller has been actively identified with the business interests of Zanesville, and is today a prominent resident of South Zanesville, where he is engaged in the manufacture of Cary's Family Medicines.
One of his leading characteristics in business affairs is his fine sense of order and complete system, and the habit of giving careful attention to details---without which success in any undertaking is never an assured fact.
A native of Muskingum County, Mr. Weller was born in Newton Township, January 19, 1849, and is the son of Henry Weller, whose birth occurred in the same township on the 3d of January, 1819. His grandfather, Daniel Weller, located here at an early day. The father was a well-to-do farmer, owning three hundred acres of land in this county, and was a man highly respected and esteemed by all who knew him. He died November 10, 1867, and his wife passed away on the 10th of February, 1868. She bore the maiden name of Mary E. Hammond, and was born in Perry County, Ohio, August 31, 1825, being a daughter of Greenberry Hammond.
In the family of Mr. and Mrs. Weller were the following children: Samuel F., William A., of this review, George M., deceased, Joseph A., Charles E., John W., Sarah A., the wife of Seward W. Jones, of Boston, Massachusetts, Alcinda A., wife of W. F. Lenhart, of Axline, Ohio and Mary E., wife of Edward P. Grimsley, of White Cottage, Ohio.
William A. Weller acquired his early education in the district schools of this county, and after leaving home at the age of nineteen years, he attended college at Mount Pleasant, Iowa.
In 1869 he became connected with the drug business in Zanesvillle, carrying on a store at the corner of Second and Main streets with H. G. O. Cary, for ten years. At the end of that time he became sole proprietor, and continued in business there until 1891, when he sold out the retail department to Fluke & Henry, and has since made his home in South Zanesville.
It was in 1885 that he purchased the Cary Family Medicine business and since that time has manufactured Cary's Cough Cure Troches, Cary's Sugar Coated Liver Pills, Cary's Toothache Remedy, Cary's Indian Eye Salve, Cary's Buckeye Condition Powder, Barrell's Indian Liniment and Barrell's Worm Confections, all of which medicines have been before the public for sixty-one years, and are well and favorably known.
From their manufacture and sale Mr. Weller derives a good income, his trade extending throughout all parts of the country. His factory is a good two-story brick building, seventy by twenty-eight feet, and besides this he has other property in South Zanesville.
Mr. Weller has been married twice, his first wife being Elizabeth A. Johnson, who died leaving one child, Edward S. On December 23, 1897, he was united in marriage to Rose Burton, who was born in Licking County, Ohio, February 21, 1858. Her father, Robert Burton, now deceased, was born near Harper's Ferry, Virginia, and was a son of Charles Burton, a native of England. The former married Elizabeth Leonard, who was born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and was a daughter of Henry Leonard, a native of Maryland. Her grandfather, John Leonard was born in Wales.
Mr. Weller is an earnest and consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and being a strong temperance man, he supports the prohibition party by his ballot. He is an honorary member of the Zanesville Medical Society, and stands deservedly high in business, professional and social circles as a man of recognized worth and ability.

When the wife of William A. Weller, aged 62 years, called him for breakfast at 5 o'clock Wednesday morning at the family home in South Zanesville, he did not respond and going to his bed room Mrs. Weller was horrified to find him cold in death. A post-mortem examination at the Crooks' undertaking parlors showed death was due to heart trouble. He appeared in his usual health upon retiring.
Mr. Weller has been a manufacturer of proprietary medicines in this community for years. At one time his plant was located at Second and Main street. For a number of years he had been located in South Zanesville.
Mr. Weller is survived by his widow, a sister of R. F. Burton of this city, one son, Edward, of Gallipolis, four brothers and three sisters; Samuel of New Lexington, J. A. Weller of Crooksville, C. E. Weller and J. W. Weller, both of Axline, Mrs. Sarah Jones of Boston, Mass., Mrs. A. L. Lenhart of Axline and Mrs. Mary E. Grimsley of White Cottage.
