Biography	1906 [13]
	History of the State of California & Biographical Record of the Sacramento Valley, Calif. pgs. 637 & 638 JOSEPH WEBER Numbered among the pioneer settlers of Sutter county was the late Joseph Weber, who located near Yuba City forty or mores years ago, purchasing one hundred and sixty acres of the land now included in the ranch owned and occupied by his son John J. Weber, who was born on this homestead in 1865, and has here spent his entire life. A native of Germany, Mr. Weber was born about 1817 in Darmstadt and was there bred and educated, being early trained to industrial pursuits. Immigrating to the United States when a young man, Joseph Weber located in Iowa and found his first employment on a Mississippi river steamboat. After his marriage he took up land in Jackson county Iowa and engaged in general farming. Desirous of improving his fortunes, he came overland to California with his wife and children in 1864, hoping in this land of almost perpetual sunshine to wrest a good living from the soil. Purchasing one hundred and sixty acres of land, lying three miles west of Yuba City, he began the improvement of a ranch and until his demise December 16, 1869 was successfully engaged in general farming. He was an industrious, honest man, much respected by his neighbors and friends and was a stauch member of the Democratic party and a faithful adherent to the Catholic Church. Mr. Weber married Mary Adams who was born in Luxembourg, Germany and in early womanhood came with a married sister to this country. She was a bright active woman, and after the death of her husband managed the farm most ably, increasing its size by the purchase of one hundred and sixty acres of adjoining land. On this homestead she resided until her death, December 30, 1896, at an advanced age. She too was a devout member of the Catholic Church, and reared her children to the same faith, three of her daughters becoming Sisters of Charity. The union of Mr & Mrs Weber was blessed by the birth of twelve children, namely; Margaret, deceased, who was known as Sister Mary Boniface, of Philadelphia, Pa; Annie, wife of John Strife, of Marysville, CA; Mary, now Sister Christina, of the convent at Marysville; Michael, successfully engaged in farming in Sutter County; Susan, deceased; Katie, wife of Jacob Weber, of Fruitvale, CA; John J., who owns two hundred and forty acres of the old homestead, where he is prosperously following the independent occupation to which he was reared; Josephine, widow of the late Carl August Doeing, and residing in Chicago, Ill; Christina, wife of George Miller, of Iowa.
