           [254]

           THOMAS WEIR, farmer, section 34, Sand Beach Township, was born
        in Canada, Sept. 1, 1849, where he lived until he was 16 years of
        age, when he came to Huron County and for eight years was employed
        by J. JENKS, in the woods during the winter and in the mills during
        the warmer portion of the year.  After a residence of three years
        in Iosco Co., Mich., he bought the quarter section where he now
        resides.  He has since disposed of 50 acres, and 50 acres of the
        remainder are cleared and in a good state of cultivation.
           With reference to national issues, MR. W. is a Republican.
           He is the fourth son in a family of seven children of ROBERT and
        ELIZA (HALL) WEIR, natives of Ireland, who emigrated to Canada,
        where they resided until their death. He was married, in White Rock
        Township, Dec. 29, 1873, to HANNAH, daughter of FRANCIS and ELLEN
        (McCANN) LANDRA, who were natives respectively of Canada and
        Ireland. She was born in Canada, Feb. 25, 1854, and in the family
        of Mr. and Mrs. WEIR are now the following children: ELLEN R., born
        Nov. 25, 1877; ANNIE E., born Jan. 22, 1879; GEORGE W., born Jan.
        31, 1881; THOMAS A., born March 26, 1883.
