JOHN WAYMIRE, a
native of Preble County, Ohio, was born August 19, 1832, a son
of Andrew and Sallie (Fouts) Waymire, natives of Ohio.
Our subject received a common school education, and at the age
of about 19 years he commenced to learn the carpenter's trade,
and has followed the trade more or less in connection with his
farming ever since. He came to Indiana in 1858 and settled on
the farm on which he now lives, which was then a wilderness. It
consists of 80 acres, in section 3, Erie Township. He was
married in the spring of 1854 to Harriet Speelman, a native of
Preble County, Ohio, and they are the parents of ten
children—five living—Mary C., Sarah A., Hulda, Alfred, Rosan,
Andrew, Joseph H., Noah, Christian and John E. In
1863 he volunteered in the 11th Cavalry, 126th, Regiment of
Indiana Volunteers—was Corporal— and continued until the war
closed. He is a member of G. A. R. Post, No. 65, and a
Republican. Transcribed from: History of Miami County, Indiana.
