General Notes: Husband - Balser Weber

---

Until twenty years of age Balser Weber remained at home with his father, whom he assisted in the tanning business, and in the schools of his native land secured a good education. For two years before leaving the Fatherland he worked for others. In 1849 he sailed for America, arriving in New York after being twenty-eight days upon the water, his possessions being a cash capital of $3.25. After a short time spent in that city, he went to Schenectady, where he worked in a broom factory for two months and in a tannery for a month. On leaving that place Mr. Weber came to Howard, Centre County, Pennsylvania, in November, 1849, where he was first employed by Abraham Sussman, a merchant, who was born in Germany and was a friend of Mr. Weber. His work was peddling, during two years carrying his merchandise, and for the following four years traveling with a horse and wagon. In 1857, by economy and persistent labor, he was able to purchase the store of Robert J. Haynes, which he successfully conducted until 1889, when he turned over the business to his three sons-Abraham, John Paul and William-and began living a retired life.
He was reared in the Catholic Church, to which faith he always adhered. Socially he was a member of the I. O. O. F., and in politics is a stanch Democrat. He never had any inclination for public office, but did served as a member of the town council, and as overseer of the poor for four years.
