PETER WEBER cemetery #43 TWO PIONEER RESIDENTS OF CITY ARE CALLED BY DEATH IN LAST TWO DAYS Alonzo Smith Early Day Hotel Man and Peter Weber Identified With Early Marine History Pass Away on Sunday. Mr. Smith Dies at Home of His Daughter, Mrs. Sherman Killen, Cato and Mr. Weber at the Hospital Where He Had Received Care for Some Time Two pioneer residents of the city were called by death Saturday in the persons of Peter Weber and Alonzo Smith, both of whom were identified with the early history of the city and have seen its rapid development from a village to a modern city. Mr. Weber was a familiar figure in early maritime history, being the oldest engineer on the Goodrich Transit line and being prominently identified with the early day marine of Manitowoc. He was born Aug. 15, 1837 at Luxemberg and was of French descent. As a boy of thirteen he came to America with his parents, walking from New York to Springfield, O., where he worked on a farm a few months and then continued to Kenosha, where he started sailing at the age of 15. In 1863, during the war, Mr. Weber took a boat through the lakes, down the St. Lawrence river to New York where the entire crew were made prisoners and held for two days until they could secure the necessary papers. He went with the Goodrich line in 1865 and was chief engineer of the Comet and Seabird. On the Seabird’s fatal trip in 1869, he had orders to take her from this port on her return to Two Rivers but the weather prevented her putting in here and thus he escaped the fate which befell the crew on the lost craft. Mr. Weber was chief on the Manitowoc in the Chicago harbor on Oct. 8, 1871 at the time of the fire and had difficulty in piloting his vessel away from the burning wharves. He retired in 1877 to take charge of the South side fire engine, later being made chief of the department here and serving until the water works was installed. In 1893 he took the Arctic for the balance of the season and was chief of the City of Racine that spring continued sailing until 1900 when he purchased the Silver Lake Hotel property and erected the present building on that site which he conducted until 1906 when he retired from active business life. He made his home here on Huron street until the death of his wife three years ago, March 28, 1914, since which time he has lived with his daughter, Mrs. J.F. Herzog. His decline was gradual and he died at the Holy Family hospital four days after the anniversary of his wife’s death. Of late years Mr. Weber became an ardent baseball fan and was a familiar figure at all the games. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. J.F. Herzog of this city and a son, Joseph Weber of Duluth and two grandsons. Funeral arrangements will be made later. ******* (This article has been split and put with the deceased person in the cem.)
