We understand that the Weber household was still in Altenburg in 1912 due to the fact that Julius was validated at Trinity Lutheran Church because year. His more youthful bro, Adolph, would have likely been validated in 1914, however he does not have a verification record in the Trinity books, so I believe the Weber household returned to Perryville quickly after Julius’s verification.

Julius Weber wed Albertine Hornberger on May 17, 1925 at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Perryville (I believe). The marital relationship license for this couple is visualized here, and it states Pastor Lohmann carried out the event. He was the pastor in Perryville. Nevertheless, the Friedenberg Remembrances book indicates that these 2 were wed there.

There were a number of realities in this story that attracted me to it. One was that the birthday young boy was a grand son of Charles Weber, who has actually appeared on this blog site on numerous events due to the fact that of his prestige. Another was the truth that this young boy likewise had a mom whose first name was Horn, and he would later on discover a Hornberger to be his bride-to-be. The kid of this mom who had actually been a Horn was likewise an artist, however one that did not play a horn. The connection to a popular historical structure in Altenburg that still stands was another aspect. I simply want I had some pictures of these individuals. All in all, this story showed to be rather intriguing to me.
