Weaver, three miles northwest of Hawleyville, Sunday, July 13, 1919, aged 80 years 8 months 26 days. In early life she came with her parents to McDonough county, Ill.

The living children are William I., of New Market; Mrs. D. T. Dunlavy of Sioux City, George G. of Clarinda, and Joseph O. of St. Paul. Thirteen grandchildren and eleven greatgrandchildren are living; also, three sisters and one brother are living in Illinois. Mr. and Mrs. Weaver emigrated to Iowa in 1877, locating on a farm north of New Market, where they resided until 1900, when they moved to town. Here Mr. Weaver died in 1910. .Mrs. Weaver has been a member of the Presbyterian church since 1872. She constantly lived with the Christian's hope and died in the fatih. She has been a sufferer for thirty years. She has been practically deprived of her hearing for several years. Also because of paralysis she has been very helpless. The deceased was one of God's noble women. Her life was a benediction to her children. Amid the gathering shadows of eventide she was possessed with a cheerfulness above the ordinary. But the sickle was thrust in and she yielded life's flickering ray to her Lord. A good mother has gone, but we are comforted because of the memory of her gracious words and kindly deeds. "The memory of the just is blessed."
"A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled. God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given; And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven."
The funeral was held, according to the deceased's own expressed desire, at the home of her son, William I. Weaver. Many friends came to pay their tribute of respect to the memory of the departed.

Two grandchildren, Mary Delila and Letha Viola, danghters of John and Ina Webb.
He loved the church and Sunday school and respected all Chrisian workers. In fact he loved everybody, not their sinful ways, but their soul through Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross and died an agonizing why should we fear to suffer?
The family has added the folloowing few lines.
Friends and relatives were shocked and saddened by his death which occurred Oct. 5, 1919. After moving to Page County, he settled on a farm of which he took active interest for the remainder of his life.
He was stricken with a cancer about four years ago and the last four months he had been very poorly bearing his sufferings very patiently passing away Oct. 5, 1919 aged 53 years, 2 months and 28 days.

All was done that loving hands could do, but our loss is Heaven's gain.
Funeral services were held Tuesday, Oct. 7, at his home, conducted by Rev. Fields, and he was beautifully laid to rest in the Memory cemetery. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 23, 1919

Webber, Kimble, Mrs

MRS. K WEBBER EXPIRES
Without the Slightest Warning She Dropped Dead Last Monday Morning.

Last Monday morning Mrs. Kimble Webber, mother of Conductor Chas Webber, died about 8 o'clock with heart trouble. She was apparently as well as usual earlier in the morning but as she was walking across the room shortly after breakfast she fell to the floor and in a few moments was lifeless. Mrs. Webber was about 70 years old and she and her husband have lived with their son, Chas., for a number of years. The funeral was held at the home of her son yesterday at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. IlgenFritz.
Mrs. Webber was a faithful christian woman and her life should be a blessing to all who knew her. Her home was formerly in Pennsylvania where it was expected she would be buried but an account  of the poor health of her husband who was unable to travel it was thought best to bury her here.

Weber, William
Wm. Weber was born in Adams County, Ill., Feb., 1st 1849 and died in Clarinda, Iowa, Dec, 17, 1902 aged 53 years, 10 months and 16 days.
He lived on the farm on which he was born until thirty-two years of age. With his brother Henry they worked the home farm and later purchased it. In 1880 they sold the farm and removed to Nodaway County, Mo., purchasing a seven-hundred and fifty acre tract of land near Clearmont and engaged in stock raising and shipping. In l892 they turned their attention to dealing in grain and cattle shipping and lumber business in Clearmont doing an extensive business in which both brothers were very successful. In 1894 they divided their interests and Wm. Webber moved to Clarinda and engaged in general merchandising on the east side of the square continuing in business until his death.
February 7th, 1893 he was married to Josie Kernes Gwinn which union has been pleasant and happy. One daugbter was born to this union. He leaves a wife and daughter, step-son, two brothers, and one sister to mourn his loss. John Weber, of Barry, Ill., Henry Weber, of Clearmont, Mo, and Mrs. Mary Stevens, of Santa Monica Ca.
Mr. Weber was a tireless worker both on the farm and in mercantile pursuits.  The constant strain and worry incident to his many business interests in all probability it to his rather early demise. For some years past he has been as rugged as formerly, but for the past few months there has been every evidence of physical break­down and at 2 o.clock Wednesday morning the end came rather suddenly.  His brother, who had come from Illinois to visit him, he greeted  but   four   hours   before his death   and to him he expressed assurance that he was slowly recovering and that he expected to be about again in a little while. In the midst of our cherished plans and highest expectations the death messenger often comes and we are suddenly called to judgement.
By application to business and determined effort he had accumulated considerable wealth, and may properly be regarded as one of our wealthest citizens. In all his business or dealings he maintained highest integrity and honesty. He was absorbed in his business and devoted to his home.
Mr. Weber was in nature and disposition modest and retiring. He mingled but little in society and rather excluded himself from public life. When not occupied at the store he was found in his home where he found comfort and rest business and home occupied most of his thought and time. During the past summer he made extensive improvements on his home looking forward to many years of retired life. But in this his expectations were not realized. He was an indulgent husband and father and the loved ones of his home were ever assured of his kindly attentions. He was a plain man without ostentation and show.
The funeral services were held at the residence in North Clarinda yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock conducted by Rev. IlgenFritz assisted by Rev. W. T. Fisher. The music was furnished by a male quartette consisting of Otis Lucas, Thomas Brown, Edwin Lisle and Ora Keener. There was a large attendance of friends and neighbors and profound sympathy was felt for the bereaved wife and daughter. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 19, 1902

Wm. Weber died at his home in north Clarinda, yesterday morning about o'clock, from a complication of diseases. He was first taken sick last October with walking typhoid fever, but was around until a few weeks ago. Mr. Weber was a native of Germany, and not as old man as he looked to be, as he was born Feb. 1,1849. He was an industrious frugal and economical man, and amassed a comfortable fortune for his family by his shrewd business tact. For many years he lived in Clearmont, Mo., and in 1897 removed to this city with his family where he has since been engaged in the grocery business. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his death. The funeral was held at 2.30 this afternoon. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 18, 1902
