text of obituary:

Aaron Musser Weber was born May 20, 1880, the second last of ten children in the family of the late Henry Gehman Weber and Elizabeth Musser Weber. He was born on the spot of the historical settlement of Mennonites 200 and more years ago in Berks County, near Alleghanyville, Penna.

Of the ten children in the Weber circle, three are now living. The demise of Aaron leaves Solomon 84, Joseph, 82, both of Denver, R.D. 1, Pa., and Annie Gehman, 75, of Mohnton, R.D. 2, Pa. As the sons and daughters grew to manhood and womanhood they confessed Christ as their Saviour and Lord and chose the religious faith of their father and mother through which to give their testimony to the world. All but two took companions and built homes of their own.

Aaron and his sister Fannie choose to live their life to the Lord in single blessedness, and so continued together on the Weber homestead for approximately thirty years, happy and contented as Mary, Martha and Lazarus.

Aaron, though unmarried,yet was married to the Lord. He confessed Christ, was baptized and received into the fellowship of the Bowmansville Mennonite church on Nov. 5, 1898, along with eight others, by the late bishop Christian Risserof Brunnerville, Pa.
