Notes:

Christian Weber," son of Christian and Catherine (Bruck) Weber, was born in the village of Dietrichhingen, district of Zweibruecken, Rhein Bayren, Germany, March 4th, 1810. When in his nineteenth year he bid adieu to his fatherland and emigrated to America. After arriving at New York in safety he was obliged to work for some time in order to raise sufficient means to defray his expenses across the ocean. In a few years he had, by diligent labor, saved so much from his earnings that he was able to pay the expenses of bringing his parents and others of the family to this country. Some time during the year 1833 or 1834 he, together with his parents and others, moved to Canada and settled near Wilmot Centre, Waterloo County, Ontario, where Mr Weber was married to Elizabeth Schmaus who was born June 29th, 1818, and died June 3rd, 1886. Here they resided about twenty years, then he disposed of his farm and purchased that of Moses Weaver a little east of Heidelberg where they resided until their deaths. He died March 22nd, 1886. Mr. Weber was a man of noble character, industrious and economical. Modesty, coolness and deliberation were some of his characteristics. His descendants are not so much distinguished for being great men as for the uniform private worth of all of them, not intending to convey the idea that they are less able or competent to fill public positions than others but that a certain feature of character impells them always to attend to their own business first. None of them are and never have been ambitious for public citizenship. Mr. and Mrs. Weber were blessed with a family of eight children"

Notes:

The report that Rev. D. Dippel, an aged minister of the Evangelical Association who had been superannuated a member of years and who had made his house here where he was occasionally called to service, had died, was not altogether unexpected, since it was well known that his health had been rapidly failing of late. The deceased was born in Germany and emigrated to Canada in his early manhood. While engaged in farm and other labor he made one of his spare time in fitting himself for the ministry and in due time he was ordained into the regular service of the Evangelical Association in which field he worked close to 40 years, being removed as is customary in the ministry of this denomination, from one circuit to another until his work had brought him in contact with the greater portion of German speaking adherents of the Evangelical denominations in Canada, amongst, whom he was greatly esteemed for his warmest Christian and manly qualities.
