• Notes

  Leah Snider, "was born November 21st, 1857. She is married to Ephraim W. Weber, a farmer, who resides on his father-in-law's homestead" Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. _____________________________ Weber.-Sister Leah Weber (nee Snyder), wife of Bro. Ephraim Weber, was born Nov. 21, 1857; died June 7, 1930; aged 72 y. 6 m. 17 d. She was married to Bro. Weber March 20, 1883. This union was blessed with 4 children. She leaves her husband, 3 daughters, 1 son, 7 grandchildren, 1 brother and 4 sisters, and many other relatives and friends. Sister Weber had been ailing for a few years, and particularly the last 6 months she suffered from dropsy. Realizing that the end was nearing, she was eager to depart and be with Christ which is far better. Funeral services were held at the Elmira Church by Bros. Oscar Burkholder, Moses Brubacher, and Abram Gingrich. Interment in adjoining cemetery. "All is over, hands are folded On a calm and peaceful breast. All is over, suffering ended, And our mother is at rest." Gospel Herald - Vol. XXIII, No. 19 - August 7, 1930, p. 414, 415
