He was a member of the South Dakota State legislature in 1915 and was with the state Department of Agriculture for six years.

Weller's widow, Sadie Weller, carried on the business until her retirement at age ninety. It was then taken over by Charles Weller's grand daughter, Corinne Weller Ragle and great-grandson Richard L.
