first settler on the west branch of Knapps Creek. He entered land
in the spring of 1853 but did not take up his home on it until
1855. He was born in Georgia in 1811 and went to Tennessee where he
married Minerva Howard and they came to Grant county where he
engaged in mining.

50th Wisconsin. His record says he enlisted on February 6, 1865,
giving Hazel Green as his residence. For some reason or other he
was not discharged until December 18, 1884, and, like Aaron Sharp,
buried in the Dayton Corners cemetery, he served 20 years in a four
year war. His discharge was dated back to Sept. 4, 1865. Mr. Wey's
wife, Lillian, is buried here.
A marker for a World War II veteran is in this burying ground.

1949.
