P. K. Weber Dies of Heart Attack

Suffers Seizure in Kitchener After Feeding Horses in His Barn

Philip K. Weber, generally known as "P. K. Weber," died suddenly at 7.30 o'clock this morning soon after returning from the barn at the rear of his home on Queen street.

A heart attack, which seized him as he sat on a chair in the kitchen of his home, caused his untimely demise. He had gone to the barn shortly before, to feed the horses kept in the home barn. Entering the kitchen, he spoke a few words after seating himself, and then fell to the floor, dead.

He was 71 years of age and was one of the best known livery men in the district. He was proprietor of the P. K. Weber Livery Stables. The greater part of his life was confined to this business and for years he was actively engaged in taming. He was very well known in municipal circles, having held the position of city roadmaster for many years.

Mr. Weber was born in Woolwich township, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Weber, on June 16, 1861.

His wife, two sons, J. P. Weber and a. Weber, both of Kitchener, and three brothers, Carl Weber, city, Louis Weber, Hawkesville, Dr. Henry Weber, Medford, Ore., and one sister, Miss Katie Weber, Kitchener, survive.

Remains will be buried in Mount Hope Cemetery on Sunday afternoon following services at his late home at 2.30 o'clock and at St. Paul's Lutheran church, of which he was a member, at 3 p.m. Rev. Albert Orzen will officiate.

Notes:

An Old Resident Gone

One by one, the old pioneer residents with their salutary influence, pass into the great beyond leaving behind them a generation which is prone to underestimate the work done and the influence wielded by their lives.

Death last Monday removed from a sphere of active life that extended far beyond the allotted three score and ten, Mrs. Louis Weber, sr. who had lived in this neighborhood about 40 years. Born in the Rheinish Palitinate, in a small hamlet named Gries, about 79 years ago, she came to America with her husband and three children in 1867 settling on the farm now owned by Mr. Israel Braeuchle, and situated about a mile north west of Elmira. Later the family removed to the farm now occupied by Mr. Karl Weber east of Elmira, then they lived a few years at Hawkesville after which they removed to Elmira where they lived with their son-in-law, Mr. M. Hemmerich where three years ago, Mr. Weber died. Ten children, all of whom are still living, had blessed the union of deceased and her husband, viz: Louis of Hawkesville, Caroline (Mrs. L. Sohmaermund), Karl and August of Woolwich Township, Philip of Berlin, Phillipina (Mrs. H. Hemmerich), Elizabeth (Mrs. Schraer), and Katie of Elmira, Daniel of Battleford, Sask., and Henry of Salt Lake City, Utah. Besides these, one brother, Mr. Charles Klinck, sr., three sisters, Mrs. A. Blatz, Mrs. P. Jansen and Mrs. Hy. Dunke, and thirty grandchildren survive her, to mourn the loss of a kind hearted active and provident mother and sister.

The funeral will be held today (Thursday) at 2 o'clock pm from the residence of Mr. M. Hemmerich to the Elmira Union Cemetery.

Notes:

John Bramm was Berlin's first brickmaker, his factory being located on the land on which Zion United Church, Weber Street, was built. He started the factory in 1845, the year in which he came from Germany.

The bricks for wells, houses and stores were taken to their location by a team of oxen. 500 bricks sold for $3.75. In 1880 Bramm employed six men, their weekly wages totalling $40.

In 1898 Bramm purchased the Doering steam grist mill on Queen Street South and operated it with his sons. Hundreds of cords of wood were purchased from local farmers for the operation of the mill and brickyard. The Bramm brothers operated the mill until 1907 and it is, in 1972, the Kissner Milling Company.

Bramm was also a private banker, lending money at interest rates of 6 ½ to 7%.

The Waterloo Region Hall of Fame

__________________________

John Bramm, the first, came here in the early sixties, and opened a brickyard at 58 West Weber Street. Afterward he owned yards in other parts of the town. Mr. Bramm married Miss Elizabeth Wenzel and was the father of six children: Anna, Henry, John, George, Adam, and Marie Elizabeth. "Betty" was married to P. K. Weber, long city roadmaster. Harry once conducted the American hotel. For many years, John Jr.. and George had a brickyard in Wilmot Street. Next they bought the flour-mill in S. Queen Street, operating it till 1906, when they sold it to Irvin Master. The brothers were noted fishermen and hunters. After the sale of the mill, John lived in retirement. George, four years later, opened a coal-office at 568 S. Queen Street. In 1892 he married Miss Anna (Ash) Huehn, a sister of Christian Huehn, who was accountant for the Breithaupt Leather Co., and who built the Huehn Block in West King Street. Mrs. Bramm has lived at 560 S. Queen Street ever since her marriage. The district east of South Queen Street, between the mill and Schneider Avenue, was then given over to apple orchards and potato patches. Mr. Bramm continued the coal business until his death in 1928. Since then his daughter, Mrs. Kreiner, has managed the office.
