The Dunlap Reporter
dated May 15, 1930:

Peter F. Weber of Denison, formerly of near Dunlap, passed away at his home in Denison last Thursday, following a prolonged illness.

Peter F. Weber was born at Westerhuhren, Germany, Feb. 7, 1856, and came to this country 26 years later, settling at Clinton. He remained there a year, when he came to Ute.

On Feb. 20, 1885, he was united in marriage to Miss Sophie Oestermann at Denison, who is left to mourn his death. To this union six sons and three daughters were born.

Mr. and Mrs. Weber lived near Ute and Charter Oak until 1906, when they moved to a farm near Dunlap. They remained there until 1921, when they retired, moving to Denison. Mr. Weber was 74 years, three months, and one day of age at the time of his death.

Those left to mourn his death are his wife, six sons, Louis, Peter, Jr., Franz, Henry, Herman, and Bernhard, three daughters, Mrs. Williams Berens, Mrs. Henry Buter, and Mrs. Peter Pederson, all of Dunlap. He also leaves one brother, Nick, of Sterling, Ill., a sister, Mrs. Peter Harms of Bryant, Iowa, and 25 grandchildren.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Lutheran church in Denison, and burial followed in the Oakland cemetery at that place.
