My paternal great granduncle, John William WEHRLY (1870-1954) was a jeweler in Portland, Indiana.  He was the son of William P. and Olive Jane (SMITH) WEHRLY.

I do not know for sure that he was the same Wehrly involved with the buggy sales at Wehrly Bros.

Tavis, I just typed in some Midlam names and their m. & d. in Jay County. Name familiar?

Hi, Barbara - the name isn't familiar, but I see from census records they were from Redkey area. No one by this name is in my database, but if there is someone you want me to look up on my next visit to Jay County, I would be happy to do so.
