Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Weber
Nick and Anna Weber were both born at St. Cloud, Minnesota, in the years 1882 and 1883 respectively. After their marriage there, Nick came to visit Anna's brother, Joe Lemm, in northeastern Montana. He looked the country over, liked what he saw and decided to settle on a homestead claim. A year later, in 1913, his wife and son, Harold, came from St. Cloud to Montana in an immigrant car and then on to their new home five miles south of what is now Flaxville. In 1927 Nick bought the Leslie Bledsoe farm and built a home there in 1928. They lived there continuously until Nick's death in 1950. Their son Harold and family lived with them, also. In 1951 Mrs. Weber moved to her new home in Flaxville where she lived until 1973 when she passed away at the Scobey Hospital. Harold and his wife, Clarice, continue to live on the farm.
Before his marriage, Nick was a licensed steam engineer in St. Cloud. He worked at many jobs which required steam power, including running a steam hoist at the granite quarries and the city steam roller. After coming to Montana Nick and his brother-in-law, Joe, operated a steam engine on many farms. Sparks from the engines set many prairie fires, and the tall dry grass burned quickly, so much time was spent fighting fires.
A second son Wilfred, was born to the Webers at Flaxville. He attended college in Great Falls and Billings, Montana and in California. He served in the United states Army Air Corp as a glider pilot. He was late the manager of a jewelry store in Great Falls. For the past several years he was with the postal service there until his death in December of 1974. Wilfred was very active in Cursillo and other affairs in the Catholic Church. He is survived by his widow, a daughter, five sons, and a brother, Harold.
