    Michael Weber. Michael Weber, one of the highly efficient general farmers,
whose commendable efforts in behalf of agriculture have materially assisted in
securing for Hamilton county its enviable supremacy in this department of
endeavor, has fairly earned his right to special mention in a work of this
class. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, August 5, 1856, a son of Michael and
Barbara (Schindler) Weber, both of whom were natives of Germany. Michael Weber,
Sr. came to this country about 1854 and located in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he
remained for a time. Later he took up farming and continued at this until his
demise. He was a member of the Catholic church, and a Democrat in politics. When
he died he left a gap in the hearts of his friends that will never be filled.
Mr. and Mrs. Weber were the parents of five children and they were as follows:
Mary, deceased; John, a resident of Westwood, Ohio; Michael; Catherine, who is
the wife of Louis Berg, of Dent, Ohio; George, residing in Venice, Ohio. Michael
Weber, Jr., whose name is the caption of this article, obtained his early
education in the parochial schools of Cumminsville. After completing his
studies, he returned to his father's farm, where he assisted him until he
attained his majority. Michael Weber then started in business for himself and
accordingly, purchased fifty-two acres of the finest land in Hamilton county,
where he is at present engaged in general farming. He is a Democrat in politics,
but has given more attention to his business interests than he has to the
affairs of the public arena. However, when elected to the board of school
directors, he gave conscientious service for four years. With his family, Mr.
Weber belongs to the Catholic church at Taylors Creek, Ohio, and all are active
in its affairs. Mr. Weber married, April u, 1882, Miss Annie Minges, a daughter
of Jolm and Rosa (Lange) Minges, who were natives of Germany, and came to this
country early in life. To Mr. and Mrs. Weber have been born eight children, as
follows: John, who married Etta Pope, is a resident of Whitewater township and
has a son, John M.; Loney Rose, residing at home; Pearl, who is the wife of John
Schinkle, of Harrison township; Harry, who served in the United States army for
eighteen months, in the great World war, married Rachael Garden, and now resides
in Whitewater township; George at home; Raymond, deceased; Clifford, deceased,
and Stanley, at home. In concluding it may be said that Mr. Weber is one of his
community's really worth-while citizens and universally recognized as a man of
sterling integrity and real worth.
