December 5, 1906, was the fourteenth anniversary of
the 1892 establishment of the free mail delivery system in Watertown. A fact in
connection with the same is that George Weber and Frank
Schulz, present carriers, have been in the service ever since the
inauguration of the system. They are two of the original four.

On Tuesday, one of our citizens in their best years
passed away. William Daniel Weber,
cooper by trade, served in the artillery (1st WI light artillery) during the
war. Suffering from severe bleeding in
the last year, physically very weak, a violent hemorrhage, took his life.
W. D. Weber was put to rest with members of Odd
Fellows and Turners preceding the funeral, also the Musikcorps
Band. He leaves his grieving widow
(Sarah Jane Irish Weber, second wife) and four children (George, from William's
first wife, and Etta, Frances A. and Charles
W. Weber, from second wife).
