when all
the lumber had been cut down, the hotel business slumped. Also people
were
driving cars new and not riding the trains. Ey tne way, the train dead
ended in
Prescott and Dicks hotel was just accross the tracks so business was

on
Madison Aver and called the business, Standard Auto Repair. After a

SEAL Recorder of the General Land Office.
Recorded; Patent Number 599314, filed February 14, 1918
at 9:10 A. M. Recorded in Deed Book #99, page 169.
The above Land Patent was one of many land transactions of Ike Weishuhn.
Between 1917 and 1956, Ike owned twelve other parcels of land in the
Stuart
area.
Ike built a house and a Fish Camp on Jupiter Island and farmed several
acres.
Wealthy vacationers frcm the north would stay at his Fish Camp and
he would
take them fishing in the area. He had a one cylinder gas engine boat
that he
used to travel back and forth from Stuart to Jupiter Island. Also family
members have told me that he had a knack for growing fine vegetables
on his
homestead. Ike was a man of strong likes and dislikess If he liked
you, he
would do anything for you. As an example he had tenants who he liked,
so he
didnt bother to collect the rent. On the other hand, family members
have
stopped to see him and he tell them to leaves He wrote to his niece,
Lena(Weishuhn)McKay and her husband Bon and asked them to come to Florida,
which they did. Don took a job in Stuart and they stayed there three
years.
Other family members who lived in Stuart at some time or other were
Richard
(Uncle Dick) Weishuhn and his family. Another incedent that I want
to mention
is that he liked to fish and he was with his nephew, Sammy Lane in
a flat
bottom boat and a large Manatee (Water Cow) came up under the boat
and upset
it, dumping Ike and Sammy in the water. Ike never married. Ike contracted
Cancer in his later years and suffered very much. The Cancer was in
his Throat
and Pancreas and he died in Martin County Hospital on October 18, 1956.
His
money was all gone and he was forced to give his property to the county
to
cover his medical expenses. He is buried in the Weishuhn Plot in Fernhill
Cemetery at Stuart.

in Frasier
Township of Bay County, Michigan. Tom was killed by an explosion of
a
gasulline drum on May 2, 1915. A newspaper account of what happened
follows.
"Thomas Melrose was instantly killed Sunday afternoon when a tank which
he was
examining exploded, the end of the tank striking him in the head. He
had
cleaned the tank last week with gasoline, then rinsed it with soap-suds
and
closed it up, intending to use it for an oil tank. It was supposed
to have been
tested by throwing lighted matches and burning paper into it. While
showing
the tank to Henry Selman Sunday, he removed the cap and lighted a match
for the
purpose of looking inside the tank, it is thought. There seems to have
been
enough gasoline left in the tank to evaporate and fill it under the
influence
of the hot sun during the lattar part of the week, and when it was
opened and
the flame of the match held near, the explosion resulted. The end was
blown out
out cutting the unfortunate mans throat and face badly, and then throwing
him
to the ground. The force of the fall broke his arm, and he was probably
extinct
when the boby struck the ground. The explosion was heard all over town,
and
Mrs. J.F. Brown was the first to arrive, and she aided by Mr. Selman
washed off
the blood which was gushing from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and
from the
severed jugular vain. More help arrived and the body was carried into
the
house. Dr. Bovee was called, and after examination, stated that death
was
practically instantaneous. The explosion broke a window in the house
and jarred
the surrounding buildings. Mrs. Melrose and the children were sitting
within
four feet of the tank when it exploded, were practically uninjured
excepting a
few slight burns about the face. Just how the explosion occured will
probably
always remain a mystery, as the tank was supposed to be entirely empty."

7,
