Glebe and Mrs. B. Boshart. Interment was made in the New Dundee Union Cemetery. The late Mr. Weber who was 91 years of age was born Sept. 10, 1863, in New Dundee where he lived all his life. He was a retired carriage manufacturer, having been a member of the former firm known as Weber Brothers. He was a member of St. James' Lutheran Church. If Mr. Weber had lived until Dec. 1st, he and his wife, the former Louisa Kratz would have celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. Surviving besides his wife are: one daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Tuchlinski of Kitchener; and two sons, Clayton of Kitchener and Charles of Buffalo.
