	History of Yuba and Sutter Counties, California - p 1298 M. J. Weber - - (Michael Joseph Weber) - - The greater part of the life of M. J. Weber has been passed in the Northwest: In fact, he was reared from youth in Sutter County, and he has been at all times a supporter of those interests which have been instituted for the benefit and upbuilding of the County and State. His beautiful and productive ranch of fifty-five acres testifies to his industry and thrift; this ranch is a portion of the original purchase of 160 acres made in 1882, and is located three miles west of Yuba City on the Franklin Road. He was born near Bellevue Iowa May 10, 1859, the seventh in a family of twelve children born to the late Joseph Weber. Joseph Weber (Father of Michael J. Weber) was born in Germany and emigrated to Bellevue, Iowa, and there he married Miss Adams. In 1864 he brought his family across the plains with horse teams and wagons, taking for the trip from April 1864 until October 1864, when they arrived in California and located on a farm two miles west of Yuba City. He died in 1869, his widow survived him until 1896. M. J. Weber received his education in the parochial school in Marysville, walking four miles each day. From his youth he received practical experience in ranching, which he has followed during his entire active career. He was first married to Miss Margaret Kieffer, who passed away in 1886, survived by one daughter, now Mrs. Josie Moran, who resides in Marysville. At Marysville on April 12, 1892, Mr. Weber was married to Miss Sophia Doeing, a native of Westphalia, Germany, who had resided in Illinois and in 1887 came to San Francisco. Nine children have blessed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Weber: Michael Joseph Jr., who served first with the British forces during the world war, and then was transferred to the United States Army and served as an expert machinist, and who at present is a mechanic with the Roberts Garage, Marysville; Karl J., a rancher; Elmer J., owner of a highly developed twenty acre orchard; Franz J. also a rancher; Sophia M.; Christina A.; Joseph F.; Louise Marie; and Bertha M. For many years Mr. Weber engaged in grain farming, owning 240 acres here; but since 1905 he has devoted his attention to fruit growing, which has proved more profitable. He has developed an irrigation system on his ranch for the better cultivation of his orchard.
