Clara Emma Weber daughter of Philip Weber and Emma Church Kirkby. Clara was born November 10, 1881 in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio and died December 28, 1973 in National City, Los Angeles County, California.

Clara never married. She was a practical nurse. I don't remember Clara but I remember hearing about her. I have a little letter that she wrote to me when I was young. She seems like she was a nice lady.

Loyd Philip Weber was born November 18, 1876 in Kentucky and in all likelihood Covington, Kentucky as his parents and siblings are in the 1870 Covington, Kenton County, Kentucky census. In 1880 he is found with his parents in the Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio Census.

Martha Emma Bishop is the daughter of Ola Agnes Weber and John Samuel Bishop and granddaughter of Philip Weber and Emma Church Kirkby. She was born October 17, 1902 in Terra Ceia, Manatee County, Florida.

We do not know how this lady fits into the Weber family. The back of the photo says Aunt Agnes Weber. She could be a sister of Philip's or his Aunt. Clara Emma Weber did not mention that her father Philip had a sister named Agnes. Philip named one of his daughters Ola Agnes Weber so you would think this lady was special to him.

This photo is of Catherine Herod. She is the daughter of Katherine A. Weber and Andrew Hughey Herod and granddaughter of Philip Weber and his first wife Calista Snyder.

Catherine was born January 1892 in Arkansas.
