Sudden Death of Mrs. Bert Weber

Blackie district was shocked by the news of the death of Mrs. Lovina Weber, beloved wife of Bert Weber of Blackie. Although Mrs. Weber had not been in good health for some time her sudden passing in Banff hospital on Feb. 12 was quite unexpected.

The bereaved family includes her husband and three sons, Edgar of Grande Prairie; Ralph and Harry of Blackie. Five brothers also survive are Neah Bowman of Listerville, Ontario; Abram, Milton, Alvin and Titus of Humboldt, Sask.

Mrs. Weber was born in Kitchener, Ont., and was 65 years of age. She was married to Bert Weber in 1901, and they came west to the Blackie district in 1918. She was a member of the United Church Ladies' Aid, and played a helpful and kindly part in all neighborly associations and in the community.

Funeral services were held from High River United Church on Tuesday Feb. 15 with Rev. Dr. J. M. Fawcett officiating, assisted by Rev. C. A. Warren. Interment was in Highwood cemetery with the Snodgrass Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.

The funeral was very largely attended by friends from Blackie and the Dinton district, and the floral tributes were beautiful. Dr. Fawcet's address on "Home" brought out many appropriate thoughts in memory of Mrs. Weber who was a home-loving woman. A duet by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Randle and a solo by Mrs. Fawcett of Blackie were part of the musical serivce.

Pallbearers at the funeral were Jack Walker, Joe Leslie, Jack Green, Wm. Dickenson, Walter Richardson and John Webb.
