In 1920, George Weisent (26) owned a mortgaged house at 867 Oak Grove Ave. in Marion, Marion County, Ohio with his wife Eva (25) and children Paul (5), and Mary (1), and brother-in-law Clyde Hall (24). George and Clyde both worked as railroad firemen. Eva worked as a dressmaker from her home.
In 1930, George Weisent (37) owned a farm on Marion & Upper Sandusky Road in Grand Prarie Township, Marion County, Ohio. Living with him were his wife, Eva (35) and children Paul (15), Mary (11), and Helen (5) and a 39 year old lodger, farm hand Henry McKim. Paul and Mary attended school. George and his wife were first married when they were 20 and 18 years old, respectively. Everyone in the household was born in Ohio, as were their parents. George was employed as a fireman on a steam railroad.
The 1952 obituary of George's sister, Elizabeth Weisent Crock, puts George in Pecos Texas. However, the following article appeared in The Zanesville Times Recorder (pg 22) on 6 Jun 1953:
REFUSE TO PENALIZE SHERIFF FOR LAXITY
MARION, O., June 7 - Hardin County Common Pleas Judge Arthur D. Tudor,
sitting by special assignment in Marion, yesterday denied a motion to financially
penalize Marion County Sheriff Leroy Retterer.
George Weisent of Marion asked Retterer be penalized for negligence in handling
the execution of a damage suit filed in 1948. Weisent, who had won a $14,000 judgment
from Emmett Young in a traffic case, claimed laxity by the sheriff prevented him from
collecting the money.The obituary of George's brother-in-law, Clyde Hall (found in The Marion Star, 3 Jan 1969, pg 5) lists one of his surviving siblings as Mrs. George E. Weisent of Pecos, Tex. This confirms that George Weisent from Marion, Ohio and George Weisent from Pecos Texas are the same person.
