Weber. - Ephraim H., son of Daniel and Elizabeth Weber, was born June 29, 1875; died June 22, 1934; aged 58 y. 11 m. 23 d. He was born and resided near Kitchener all his life. He is survived by his wife (Maria Steckel), 4 sons (Clayton, Ion, Eldon, Mervin), 1 daughter (Mrs. Laura Hamsher, Berlin, Ohio). and 2 brothers (Josiah H. and George A., of Kitchener). He was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church and well esteemed in the community at large. He was known as a man of integrity and dependability and possessed of a quiet dignity and modesty. He was the incarnation of the common virtues of life, so often undervalued, nevertheless they are what make men and nations great. His self-controlled speech was a desirable quality that all Christians might well covet. His sudden passing in the night while asleep is a loud call to all to prepare to meet their God in peace. His passing will leave a vacant place, and memory will treasure his personality "till we meet again." The services were conducted at the First Mennonite Church, in charge of Bros. C. F. Derstine and 0. Burkholder. Sermon, "The Ministry of Hard Knocks and Affliction." II Cor. 4 : 16,17.

Weber.-George Abram Weber passed away at his home at Parkway, Kitchener, Ont. , on Thursday, Aug. 21, 1941, after an illness of about six weeks. Bro. Weber was born on June 24, 1879 and passed away on the farm of his birth; aged 62 y. 1 m. 28 d. He is survived by his wife (nee Malinda Woolner), with whom he was joined in holy wedlock 39 years ago at Nachez; also by 5 daughter, Vera, Mrs. Urbin Snider of Bloomingdale, Mabel, Mrs. Clayton Siebert, at home, Edna, Mrs. Edgar Martin of Elmira, Gladys, Mrs. Roy Shantz of Kitchener, and Mildred, at home. Eight grandchildren also survive. He was predeceased by 1 daughter who died in infancy. Bro. Weber's life and service was a rich boon to the church that he so faithfully served. He was known as a kind, patient, faithful and loyal servant of God. He will be missed, his helpful counsel will be missed, but we mutually rejoice in the fullness of his life, and his usefulness well nigh to the close of his life. Bro. Weber served the First Mennonite Church as Deacon for 30 years. He was Secretary of the Mennonite Mission Board for 25 years, Treasurer of the Bible School Board for a number of years, Member of the Deacons' Welfare Board. Bro. Weber during his lifetime held many more positions of trust. A loving tribute of respect was rendered Bro. Weber by his fellow deacons, ministers, and bishops, some fifty, who rose when his body was carried into the church building, then viewed the body first, and proceeded together to the cemetery, where they sang, "Blest be the tie that binds." The funeral services were in charge of the pastor, Bro. C. F. Derstine, and associate minister, Bro. Merle Shantz, conducted at First Mennonite Church, Kitchener, Ont.

Notes:

"Eldon D. Weber, President of OGS, 1975-1977, died on 26 February 2004 at the age of 90. He was born in Berlin, Ontario, in 1913, the son of Ephraim Weber and Maria Steckle, and remained proud of his connection with both these pioneer Waterloo County families. He was a longtime member of the Pennsylvania-German Folklore Society, and was present at the PGFS meeting when OGS was founded. He became active provincially at an early stage, serving as a provincial director 1970-1971, and as vice-president before becoming president.

Among his undertakings at the provincial level was a projected series of county-wide gravestone readings, Monumental Transcriptions (1977). Unfortunately, only the first volume, concerning Simcoe County, was published. He chaired Seminar 1976, held in Waterloo. OGS awarded him an honorary life membership in 1984.

Throughout the 1970s he was also active locally, helping to found Waterloo-Wellington branch in 1973, editing its newsletter for many years and serving as chair 1978-1982. Access to two ledgers of 1870s Waterloo County births and deaths led him to publish them, many years before the Registrar-General officially released the information to the public.

As well as genealogies of the Weber and Steckle families, his greatest contribution to family history in Ontario was in the republication of Ezra Eby's Biographical History of Waterloo Township (1895) in 1971. He combined the original volumes and the 1931 supplement with maps and other new material and, most usefully, an every-name index. This publication, referred to locally simply as 'The Eby Book', is the first port of call for Waterloo County genealogists. It had become a rare book, but the Weber edition is available in libraries across North America.

His reputation in the community meant that many Mennonite families deposited copies of documents with him. His papers are now at Conrad Grebel College, University of Waterloo.

In addition to his genealogical work, Eldon was active in the United Church of Canada, both locally in Kitchener-Waterloo and at conference level. The KW Council of Churches named him Layman of the Year in 1969. He also served on the board of the KW Humane Society for almost forty years from 1944.

Following his retirement from active committee work, his second marriage to Helen Merner gave his old age a new outlook and much happiness."
