George Burk Weber, Sr., 81, died Saturday noon in a Shreveport hospital shortly after undergoing surgery.
He was born in Yelvington, Daviess County, near Lewisport, Kentucky, a member of a family of 8 children, two of which still survive.
Funeral services were conducted at Gay's Funeral Home in Delhi at 2 P.M. Sunday. Burial was held at the Masonic Cemetery here.
As a youth, Mr. Weber came to Louisiana, liked the country and returned with his bride in 1908. He moved into Richland Parish in 1912 and resided in Ward One since that time, prospering in rich harvest of friends and family.
The land was fresh and sparcely settled when he adopted it for his home. He invested his interest in the land and its timber, serving his turn in road building, drainage, and the excising of the products of the Louisiana soil. He was a part of its politics, of its expansion and development, and the basic social structure made up of the sharing of pleasure and compassion in time of trouble and sorrow.
Active until recently, no problem was so big that it could overwhelm him; no human need was so small that he could not be concerned, for he loved people. Being asked how he could keep up his youthful pace, he quipped, "I just don't think old"
Survivors include two daughters, Mrs. Clara Busbee, Oak Grove, and Mrs. Edith M. Cote, Natchitoches, Louisiana; six sons, G. B. Weber, Jr. West Monroe, Roy Weber, Bastrop, Charles Weber, Jersey City, New Jersey, Walter and S. D Weber, Shreveport; and James and Robert Weber, both of Dunn; two sisters, Mrs. Rosa Poole and Mrs. Dave Board, both of Lewisport, Kentucky; 15 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.
Pallbearers were Arthur Thomas, Leonard Bryce, Percy Walker, Clayton Cooper, Bill Clarkson, S. V. McKibbens, Thomas Nivens, Pat Patty, and Vernon Byrd.
