Adam Weisman, son of Adam and Sarah [Boone Watson] Weisman, was a well known and highly respected citizen of our community. He was born in Jefferson County, June 20, 1855. While he was but a little boy the family moved to Scott County, locating near Orad Spring, where Adam grew to manhood on the vast estate his father accumulated there. The Weismans have always been deeply interested in all things religious. The history of Cana Church reveals that his father donated fine poplar logs, and Adam, then only fourteen years old, hauled them to his father's mill, using as a team two horses at the wheel and a yoke of oxen as leaders. Thus was the lumber provided that went into the construction of the Cana Church House built in 1869. Thus were aroused his interest in the Cana Church and its people, making himself one of them. Here an abiding friendship between him and Euzetta Stewart sprung up and grew until it culminated in their marriage October 7, 1880. They started homemaking on a portion of his father's land, which by their toil and sacrifice, they built into the well known Weisman farm. Here were born their children, viz: Ethel, Letta A, Berthena, Clarence A, Curtis L, Sylvia May, Arthur L, and Harlan Boon; here his life was lived and here his many friends were made. It is here too in his community that he will be so deeply missed, for Mr. Weisman was a good, quiet citizen, kind and helfpul neighbor and a friend to us all. The eighty-nine years he had lived among us caused us to look upon him as a human landmark we regret to see removed.Jackson County, Indiana

For a long time Mr. Weisman had been in declining health, the years had been sapping him of his strength, and so he grew day by day more and more feeble, till Thursday, September, 14 1944[sic] he quietly passed away. Thus a beautiful life came to its close in a beautiful death.
Mr. Weisman joined the Methodist Church at Wesley Chapel when a young boy and later moved his membership to the Crothersville M. E. Church; was the oldest member of this church at the time of his crossing the Great Divide, having been a member for more than fifty years. He followed the beam to a higher home, as he spoke of seeing "a light up there" and "every thing beautiful."
He leaves behind a devoted wife, five children; Ethel and Sylvia at home; Berthena of Crothersville; and Clarence and Curtis of Franklin; three grandchildren: Lieutenant Max Weisman of Atlanta, Mary Gene Weisman of Franklin, and Lynn H. Benham [husband, Henry], Radar operator in the Hawaiian Islands; three nieces, Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Dodson, and Mrs. Straber, all of whom live in the northern part of Indiana; ten nephews, Adam Nolta, Omer Polk, Walter and Tom Patton, George, Elmer, Charles, John and Duer Weisman and James Hassenzahl, besides a host of friends and neighbors to mourn his loss.
How truly could our departed loved one have said:
Life! we've been long togetherNote: Additional information from another unidentified newspaper state that the funeral services will be conducted from the Crothersville Methodist Church, with the Rev. Walter Moseley in charge; burial at the Cana Cemetery. Friends may call at the home on Crothersville R2 at any time.
Through pleasant and through cloudy weather;
'Tis hard to part when friends are dear, ---
Perhaps 'twill cost a sign, a tear;
Then steal away, give little warning,
Choose thine own time;
Say not "good night", --- but in some brighter clime,
Bid me "Good Morning."
