Henry Weber was born the son of Frederick and Wilhelmina (Steinhoff) Weber, November 26, 1868 at Miltonsburg in Monroe County, Ohio, just three years following the end of the Civil War. At the age of 15 years he moved with his parents to Iowa. They arrived by rail at the Mapleton, Iowa train station on March 1, 1883. The family settled in the German City, Iowa vicinity. He spent his whole life in the German City, Hornick communities. On February 19, 1901 he was united in marriage to Mary Ferguson of Holly Springs, Iowa. A daughter Edna was born to this union. She was their only child.
Henry helped build the first German City Church and was a member of the first confirmation class of that church. He was destined to see this church destroyed by a tornado in 1906. He built (with help) another church, the structure in which his funeral was held.
In the winter of 1897 a German City Band was organized and Henry was a charter member. Later in 1923 and 1924 he was made Band Manager of Hornick Band. His interest in bands and band music has never waned. While he was confined at home, Mr. Israel, Hornick Band instructor took the band to play for him near his home. He enjoyed immensely the music played for him.
Henry Weber joined the Odd Fellows Lodge of Hornick in 1893. In 1950 at a special meeting he was presented the Lodge Emblem of 50 years service, the first to be presented by the Hornick Lodge.
For over 50 years he has been a contractor and builder of many lovely homes in this vicinity.
On February 19, 1951 Mr. and Mrs. Henry Weber celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary at their home at Hornick, Iowa.
He is survived by his wife Mae; a daughter, Mrs. Edna Brandt of Omaha, Nebraska; a brother, John of Hornick, Iowa; a sister, Mrs. Anna Rose of Sloan, Iowa; and many nieces and nephews and other relatives.
