FRANK WEIS

The Frank and Charlotte Weis family is pictured above. This stone house is located approximately six miles south of Nevada, Missouri on Talley Bend Road. The house was built following the Civil War by James C. Bowen, and Frank and Charlotte Weis later lived in the house.  They had 13 children. Frank organized and taught music to many boys' bands in Vernon County. Photo courtesy of Dee Lerch.

The Weis family pictured in the photo above did not build the original house but did build the two cut-stone wine caves that are on the property. At one time there was a working vineyard on the property, and the Weis family made wine and aged it in the caves. We hope some day to restore the house and would appreciate any photos/information that anyone would have about the property and especially about the (rear) addition to the house.
