J. J. WIELAND *pages 617, 618*

J. J. Wieland, wholesale liquor dealer, keeps a large stock of fine liquors and beer. He established his business at Carroll in 1886. The genial proprietor was born in Columbiana County, Ohio, January 24, 1843, son of George A. Wieland. His parents had ten sons and two daughters, all of whom are living. J. J. was the second child. He was reared and educated in the town of Dungannon, and resided in Ohio until 1867. In 1872 he engaged in the mercantile trade at Richmond, Washington County, this State, and remained there three years. He then bought and sold horses and lightning rods, a business in which he is still engaged to some extent, having two or three salesmen on the road most of the time. He owns a good farm of 160 acres of the best soil that can be found in Carroll County, and it is well improved. He was united in marriage October 7, 1868, with Miss Elizabeth R. Andre, who was reared in Columbiana County, Ohio, daughter of Jonathan and Anna Andre. They have five children — Corliss, Leonard, Birdie, Bessie and Willie. Mr. Wieland is a Democrat in politics.
