---++++_Obituary for Joseph Weber_

---++++_Obituary for Catherine Weber_
"The late Mrs. Weber, beloved wife of Joseph Weber, passed away at the family home in Hanover on Thursday last.  She attained the age of 66 years, 5 months and 2 days.  Deceased had been ailing for a great length of time, her state having been considered precarious a few months ago when the sons who are resident in Buffalo came home.  She rallied at that time, but her residence on this sphere was not to be of long duration.  Neighbours of the deceased and others with whom she was intimately acquainted affirm that her nature was above all eminent for its kindness.  The funeral left her late residence on Saturday at 9:45 for the R.C. church where service was held and from thence to the Roman Catholic Cemetery where the remains were consigned to their last resting place.  Deceased was born in Mertzwiller.  She came to the country on April  9, 1886.  Besides her husband, she leaves a large family of grown up sons and daughters:
   * Michael Weber in Michigan
   * Joseph Weber (Jr.) in Preston, Ontario
   * Alis (Mrs. Deiss) in Hanover, Ontario
   * Barbara Weber, Hanover, Ontario
   * Charles Weber, Buffalo, N.Y.
   * Eugene Weber, Buffalo, N.Y.
   * George Weber, Southampton, Ontario
   * Emil Joseph Weber, Manitoba"
