Arthur Garfield Weir, born in Merom, Indiana, and Margaret Manetta Clark
     (Maggie), born in Harper, Kansas, were married in Harper, Kansas, in 1906
     and moved to a farm near Sharon.
       Arthur was a barber by profession in his early years and worked in the
     gold country of Colorado and in the Dakotas. After living in the Sharon
     community for several years they moved to a farm five miles southeast of
     Hazelton on the Harper-Barber County line, where they lived for over 50
     years. Arthur and Maggie were active in the country Presbyterian Church
     southeast of Hazelton and later joined the Kiowa Methodist Church. Arthur
     served as a member of the Kings College Country School Board and was a
     member of the Hazelton Masonic Lodge. Maggie belonged to a Home Demonstration
     Unit.
       Four children were born: Lillian (died as an infant in 1913), Billy (died
     in 1918), Glenn Arthur, and Nelle Mae. The whole family was active in 4-H
     Club work. Even during the Depression the family took trips because Arthur
     wanted to see and show the family this great country.
       Glenn and Nelle Mae were educated at the rural Kings College School and
     the Harzelton schools, with Glenn graduating from Hazelton High School
     and Nelle Mae graduating from Kiowa High School. Nelle Mae was graduated 
     from Salt City Business College, Hutchinson, and Glenn was graduated from 
     Kansas State University, Manhattan.
       Nelle Mae married Thomas John Mangen from Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1945
     and two children were born to this marriage, Deborah Lea (Mrs. Clyde Catlin)
     and Thomas Gordon. After the death of her husband in 1960, Nelle Mae married
     Dale Fankhauser in 1964. She now lives in Anthony. She has five grandchildren,
     Shawn and Chelsea Catlin living in Anthony, Kansas; George, Sam and Carrie
     Mangen, living in Los Angeles, California.
       Glenn and B. Marie Montgomery were married in 1944. After serving in
     World War II and completing a college degree, Glenn and Marie moved to the
     family farm, and a son, Stan Glenn, was born in 1948. Stan and his wife, Susie,
     have two daughters, Stacey Michelle and Lindsay Sutton. Glenn and Marie live
     in Arlington, Virginia.
      Arthur and Maggie moved to Anthony in 1960 and continued to enjoy their
    lifelong interest in softball, basketball, and baseball. They both passed
    away in 1969 at the ages of 88 and 86, after almost 63 years of married life,
    spent mostly in Barber County.
