Francis Weimer (father) was born in 1833. He also followed the trade of blacksmith. In politics he was a Democrat.
His wife, Maria Stahl, was born in 1831 in Berlin, Somerset county. Their children:
Alice;
Cyrus, deceased;
Lottie;
Frank M.;
Mary;
Alex;
Nancy;
William, deceased.
Frank M. Weimer obtained his education in the common schools of his native place and early in life commenced upon an independent career, learning the trade of *blacksmith* with his father*, which he followed until 1899. He then sold out his blacksmithing business and purchased the farm of Daniel Colman, situated four miles east of Somerset, Pennsylvania. Mr. Weimer has achieved excellent success in his career as a farmer, and he affords an excellent example of what industry, perseverance and energy will do toward assisting one to reach a high degree of success. When he decided upon the career of a farmer he did not own a cent. He borrowed money to make his first payment on his purchase, and through his close application to duties was enabled to meet the succeeding payments when they fell due. In politics he has been a lifelong Democrat.

Walter, born February 21, 1888;
Robert, June 29, 1891;
Isabel, October 29, 1892;
