• Notes

  Andrew Weber," the third member of David Weber's family was born August 3rd 1838. The house in which he was born was situated on the exact spot where now is the Berlin depot of the Grand Trunk Railway. He is married to Veronica, second daughter of J. Y. Shantz of Berlin. Soon after their marriage they moved on his father's farm three miles east of Berlin where they remained until spring 1872, when he moved on a farm situated halfway between Berlin and Bridgeport. Here they resided until fall, 1892, when they moved to Berlin. On April 10th, 1894, they, in company with others, moved to Didsbury, Alberta, N. W. T., where he has taken up land again and is following farming. They have a family of eight children, namely: VII Malissa (dead), VII Ellen (dead), VII Sabina, VII Ephraim, VII Manasseh, VII Elsie, VII Edwin, and VII Ivan. Sabina is with her grandfather, J. Y. Shantz, in Berlin; Ephraim is attending Berlin High Schools; Elsie is at present in Calgary, Alberta; Manasseh is working at the carpenter trade at Didsbury, Alberta; Edwin is with his uncle, Ephraim Shantz, on a farm in the North-West, near Didsbury, Alberta; Ivan is home with his parents."
