STAR VALLEY INDEPENDENT - 12 OCTOBER 1906

A GOOD MAN GONE

Samuel Weber of Freedom, Wyoming passed into the great beyond. It has pleased out Heavenly Father to call from this sphere of action our worthy friend and Brother, Samuel Weber of Freedom. We had announdced his serious illness in our last issue, his ailment however being heart trouble.
The deceased seemed to be improving and last Saturday was around the house doing small jobs of work. On Saturday night he complained of a severe pain and went to the bedroom to lay down. He had no sooner done so when his wife entered and found that he was expiring,
Brother Weber was hightly esteemed in the Comminity, was a man of character and integrity. He was a hard worker and by thrift, economy, and hard labor accumulated
considerable means. He was a native of Switzerland and was born in Canton, Aargau, some fifty-two years ago. He in company with his wife and family immigrated to Utah
in 1888 and settled in Providence, Cache County, from which place he came here to Star Valley, locating himself at Freedom.
In Mr. Weber the community lost an honest upright citizen. A man who would wrong nobody, always looking at the bright side of things, cheerful and a good Husband and Father. The whole community was shocked upon hearing the sad news and the sympathy of the people goes out toward the bereaved family.
The funeral services were held at Freedom Ward assembly room and a crowded house paid respects to the departed. Consoling and encouraging remarks were made by Bishop
Osborne Low, W.A. Hyde and John A. Hyde. Ed Olson and Mark Hurd sang very touchingly "Oh My Father, Thou that dwellest".
A large concourse of vehicles followed the corpse to its resting place on the hillside.
"MAY HIS MEMORY BE PERPETUATED AND MAY HIS NOBLE LIFE BE A GUIDE TO OTHERS".
