The Charles Weber Family

Charles and Johanna Weber and their family
In birth order: Elvera, Herbert, Elaine, Ardyth and Myrna, not shown, born in 1930.
Martha Weber Kennington wrote of her older brother:
"Charles Samuel, the brother who did so much to help me through the years. It was wonderful, the easy manner of his death. But it made the void all the more deep and lasting.
How I enjoyed him and Aunt Joan, his lovely wife, and family. Naturally since death is inevitable for all of us, one day all of us will be called to answer the final summons. May we all be as ready as he was. He chafed at inactivity. Unless he could accomplish something with his hands, life did not seem worthwhile to him. Even though he was aware of the happiness he shared with his family and sisters- work and lots of it seemed the only thing that made life seem worthwhile.
So even though there is happiness in the sweet memories of places and events we went with him, we miss him.
It was wonderful how rich and full he made his life and unselfishly did all he could to help others. Aunt Lena and I are witnesses and recipients to his out giving generosity and kindness..."
