William Jacob Weber Newspaper clipping Issue: January, 1929 Seldom does the hand of death strike more suddenly or cause greater sorrow than it did recently at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Weber, of near Lewisville, Ohio. Mr. Weber became ill with acute appendicitis and on the advice of his father Dr. Jacob W. Weber of Lewisville he was rushed to the Good Samaritan Hospital at Zanesville where an operation was performed. A gangrenous condition developed which could not be overcome and he succumbed on Tuesday morning, January 8, 1929. His faithful wife, Gertrude Weber, and son George Weber were at his bedside, but no care in nursing or skill of physician could prevent the inevitable. William Jacob Weber was born December 7, 1878, (St. John?s church record lists him as being born December 19, 1878) in Seneca Township, Monroe County, Ohio, the son of Jacob W. and Magdalena Christman Weber and at the time of his death was 50 years, 1 month, and 1 day of age. He grew to manhood in the community in which he was born and on January 12, 1904, was united in marriage to Miss Gertrude C. Claus. They established their home on the farm where the family now lives and four days later than his death could have celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary a quarter of a century of happy peaceful wedded life in a fine home atmosphere in which the best life of our nation is found. Mr. Weber was a successful farmer and it was his major occupation until about fourteen years ago when he became an employee of the Ohio Fuel Gas Company. They recognized his industry, honesty and good management and he was made local superintendent of their property of lines and wells, which he managed in a highly satisfactory manner. A family of seven children was born to Mr. and Mrs. Weber, all of whom are living. They are: Alfred Weber, of near Lewisville; George Weber, Wesley Weber, Marcella Weber, Emma Weber, Margaret Weber and William, Jr. Weber at home. On April 11, 1879, at the age of 19, Mr. Weber was confirmed in the Evangelical faith at St. John?s Middle Church and to this day of his death remained true to his Master. Not only in his own life, but in that of his family in the Church honored and recognized and each child followed in his footsteps as soon as the age of discernment was reached. For several years and at the time of his death Mr. Weber was a member of the Church Council at Middle Church and he was ever faithful in service and in fulfilling his obligations. Besides his widow and children, he is survived by one daughter-in-law, his parents, and stepbrother, one stepsister, one half brother and one half sister. Funeral services were held at Middle Church on Thursday, the service being conducted by his pastor, Reverend Edward Buescke, of Lewisville. Notwithstanding the inclement weather a large congregation paid their respect to the memory of their neighbor and friend. Interment was made in the Middle Church Cemetery.
