One of the oldest residents of McHenry and a pioneer in the community, Math Weber, passed away at his home on Riverside Drive last Friday morning, March 12, 1943, after a short illness. He was 86 years old.
The deceased was born Oct. 8, 1856 in Johnsburg, Ill., and when six months old, moved with his family to Johnsburg, Minn. There he grew to manhood, returning to this vicinity when he was nineteen.
Mr. Weber was a carpenter by trade, and was employed thus in this city until his retirement several years ago. He was a faithful church member and a kind father. Enjoying good health, even in old age, he found a great deal of pleasure in the frequent reunions of his children at his home.
He was preceded in death by his wife thirty-eight years ago and by several brothers and sisters. Surviving are eight children: John, Joseph, Henry, Mrs. Anna Thennes, Mrs. Helen Heuser, Mrs. Emily Lawson and Miss Laura Weber, all of McHenry, and Mrs. Elizabeth Krause of Woodstock; also one sister, Mrs. Mary Sabel, of Adams, Minn.
Funeral services were held from St. Mary's church at 10 o'clock Monday morning, with interment in the church cemetery. Before last rites were conducted, the body was at rest at the Justen Brothers funeral home.
Pall bearers included Ed Smith, Jos. Adams, Al Barbian, Roy Kent, A. P. Freund and Ray McGee.
