Notes |
- The David Weber House is associated with David Weber, an early Mennonite leader and founder of the Weber Church which is now the Pioneer Christian Fellowship Church. There is evidence that the house was used as a meeting place for Mennonites before David donated the land across the street for a church. David's son, Noah Weber, was a Deacon in the church and owned the house until his death in 1925.
