He was born on December 27, 1891, in Charleston, South Carolina to E.E. and Bertha T. Wehman. He attended West Point in 1911 and 1912 and received a bachelor of science degree from the University of South Carolina. When Dwight D. Eisenhower, a classmate of Wehman's at West Point, was elected president, Wehman served as one of the eight electors from South Carolina.

Wehman was elected 16-7 from among the member of Charleston City Council to complete the unfinished term of Henry Whilden Lockwood. He did not seek reelection following more than three years in office and instead returned to his insurance business.

Wehman died on May 1, 1964, and is buried at Magnolia Cemetery.
