Frank Weller | January 18, 1858

January 18, 2012 by Dave Weller

Frank Weller, my great grandfather, was born on this date in 1858. He was born on the family farm in Little Wolf Twp., Waupaca Co., WI.

Is this my dad’s brother or his uncle? do you know for sure, as I haven’t seen pictures of Frank Weller for a long time as my Uncle Frank lived in Oregon or California I believe if that is him.

  This is your grandfather’s brother. He had a farm in the Little Wolf area and then moved to Clintonville, where he had a farm and then the hardware store. He is one of Joseph Voiland’s 9 children.

This is such a great photo, not only because your grandfather is in it but also because it shows a general store in the background. I’m sure I could look at this for an hour and still find more to see. Thanks for sharing it!

  Nancy, I actually cropped the photo. The original is a much wider shot of his entire hardware store. Yes, I have stared at it many times and still see new things in it!

    Have you posted the whole photo on your blog? If so, can you post the link. I’d love to look at it. Thanks for responding!

There are two versions of the photo on my post about the hardware store. I don’t know exactly how close in time the two were taken. The link is here –
