Notes  Samuel Weber," eldest and only son of Henry Weber, was born November 26th, 1821. On March 7th, 1844, he was married to Anna, daughter of Daniel and Veronica (Schneider) Martin. She was born August 2nd, 1824. After his marriage he took possession of his father's large farm where he resided until his death which took place October 13th, 1886.* He was an ordained minister of the Mennonite Church. He was an eloquent speaker, a man of great influence and a good worker among his co-religionists. The church lost a worthy minister through his death. They had a large family, all of whom attained the age of twenty-one except two who died young. The names of his children are as follows:"

* While in the town of Waterloo he met with an accident which caused his death. He met with a friend on the street and while engaged in conversation with him a tool of one of the party who was engaged in tinning the roof of Mr. Doersam's hotel, slipped over the edge of the building and struck him on the head. He was carried into the house unconscious and remained in that state until his death next day.
