He was honorably discharged in 1866.         On October 17, 1867, he married Caroline Meyer, who was also a native of Germany. She died in 1916. Seven children were born to this union including Mrs. Emma Thompson, a former resident of Stafford and mother of Joy Thompson.         Mr. Weide moved his family to Kansas in 1878 and settled in Saline County. They later moved to Barton County. Here the family worked hard and accumulated land and wealth. Mr. and Mrs. Weide retired to Stafford and built a fine residence. Mr. Weide was friendly, knowledgable, and always stood by his convictions. The Weide Opera House was named for Mr. Weide who had contributed both effort and generous monetary support toward its erection in 1910.         In 1916 Mr. Weide married Lena Pankrata who preceded him in death only a few months in 1922.
