Cascade, Ia., - Special: Funeral arrangements were completed Monday for John Henry Weber, 71, prominent Cascade druggist, who died suddenly at his home following a brief illness with heart disease.

The last rites will be held Tuesday morning at 9:30 o’clock at St. Mary’s Church with the Right Rev. Monsignor J. B. Albers, pastor, officiating. Burial will be in the Catholic Cemetery, here.
Mr. Weber, who was identified with the drug business here for the past 48 years, was in apparently good health Saturday. However, he was stricken early in the evening and his death occurred at 11 o’clock at night.

A son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Weber, early Dubuque County pioneers, he was born in Cascade on Aug. 1, 1866. He was married to Miss Mae McClain on June 13, 1894, the home always being made in Cascade. He entered the drug business here in 1889 in the building still occupied by the firm, now known as Weber & Ramm. The past 29 years John Ramm was associated in the business.

Mr. Weber was a Democrat and he served two terms in the Iowa House of Representatives, being elected to the 39th General Assembly in 1920 and reelected in 1922. He served two three year terms as a member of the State Pharmacy Board, being appointed examiner in 1922 by Gov. John Hammill. He was also a past grand knight of the Knights of Columbus. He was also a trustee of Sunnycrest Sanitarium in Dubuque.

Survivors include his widow; three sons, Paul and N. C. Weber, both of Omaha, Nebr., and Rex of Council Bluffs; one daughter, Mrs. A. L. Scholl, of Maquoketa; and five grandchildren.
