Peter Weber

Pictured here is the death certificate of Peter Weber. Peter was my grandmother, Eva Rose Weber's brother. Grandma use to tell me was that she was told by her father that Peter died young.

I finally found this death certificate for Peter a few years after Grandma passed away.

Peter was interred at St. Boniface Cemetery, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. A call to the cemetery found that he was interred in a term grave which term for use was only 20 years. This detail shows the level of poverty of this young family. One must think it was very difficult for this young couple to bury their nearly three year old son with their three older sons Joseph Peter (10), Michael Wendel(8) and John P.(6) requiring their attention as well.
