p. 1688
Dr. T. C. WEBER. who is a native of West Salem, born in this place on April 14, 1870, on the farm of his father, is doubtless one of the best known men in Edwards county. Certain it is that he occupies a place of prominence among the foremost men of the county, and is regarded as one of the leading men in his profession, in which he is making rapid progress. He is the son of Mathias and Mary Elizabeth (Ely) Weber. Mathias Weber was a native born German, his birth occurring in Baden, Germany, on December 4, 1828, and he was the son of John Weber, of Baden, Germany. He came to America when he was yet in his ‘teens, and to the day of his death was a true and loyal citizen of his adopted country. He gave valued service through two wars—the Mexican war and the Civil war, and was in every way a valuable citizen and a man highly esteemed and respected among his fellows.
Dr. T. C. Weber
was reared on the farm of his father, and his early education was similar to
that of his brothers and sisters. He worked on the farm as a boy and attended
the district schools, and while in his teens he attended the Southern Collegiate
Institute of Albion. When he was twenty-four years old he entered Barnes
University at St. Louis, Missouri, and was graduated from that institution on
April 7, 1897, at that time receiving his degree of M. D. He began the practice
of his profession at Parkersburg, Illinois, and continued there until May 1,
1905, when he went to Chicago and took a post graduate course in the Chicago
Polytechnic. In October, 1905, he sold his practice in Parkersburg and moved to
West Salem. He then entered Washington University at St. Louis, where he
completed a course of study, and on April 17, 1907, he established a finely
equipped surgical
and medical office in West Salem. Here he is making a specialty of the treatment
of tubercular diseases, and is especially attentive to surgery.
His office is fitted with the latest in X-Ray and
electrical appliances, and he is in every way prepared to cope with the most
unusual conditions. He is assisted in his work by his brother, Dr. William C. Weber, a recent graduate of Barnes Medical University of
St. Louis, Missouri. Dr. Weber is a student of the best
and most advanced methods in the medical and surgical world, and is making
splendid progress in his chosen profession. He is a member of the County, State
and American Medical Associations, and his professional reputation is a matter
of more than local scope. He is a member of a number of fraternal orders, among
them being the Masonic order, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Modern
Woodmen, Ben Hur and the Loyal Americans. He is a member of the Christian
church.
