  Biography	M. Weber a leading citizen of New Denmark township, Brown county, is a native of Germany, born September 12, 1850 in Luxemburg, son of Hubbard and Mary (Dewald) Weber, the former of whom was a mason by trade. They had five children, namely: William (deceased) Anna (deceased), Nicholas, Paulina and our subject. In 1853 this family embarked at Hamburg in a sailing vessel bound for America, landing in New York City after a long weary voyage of 146 days. Coming directly to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, they remained in that city two weeks and then proceeded, via Green Bay, to New Denmark township, Brown county, where Mr. Weber invested in eighty acres of wild land, which at that time was all in the woods and inhabited by wild beasts. They commenced life on this place with almost nothing and soon commenced to clear the land, Mr. Weber also working in mills, as the farm at first did not yield enough to support the family. By incessant toil the whole tract was finally cleared and cultivated, as well as an additional forty acres, and at the time of his death Mr. Weber was the owner of a highly improved farm of 120 acres all acquired by his own earnest labor. He was called from earth November 5, 1888, since which time his widow has made her home with her son, Mathias, who now owns and conducts the home farm. She has reached the advanced age of ninety-one years. Our subject was reared to manhood on the pioneer farm where he was thoroughly trained by his father to agricultural pursuits. On May 22, 1877, he was united in marriage with Miss Catherine Bartelme, and to their union have been born eight children viz: Josephine, John, Minnie, Mary, Lizzie, Tillie, Henry and one that died in infancy. On the death of his father, Mr. Weber bought the old homestead where he carried on a profitable farming business, and since 1890 he as also conducted a saloon. In politics he has bee actively identified with the Democratic party, taking great interest in its success, and he as held various offices in his township, having served a supervisor (two years), constable (nine years), pathmaster and school director nine years, discharging all the duties connected with these offices in a creditable and highly satisfactory manner. Socially he is a member of the Catholic Knights, Branch No. 101, Cooperstown, and in religious connection he and his wife are members of the Catholic Church.
