Magnus and Elizabeth Weber (Weaver) lived in Fulda, just west of the church. Magnus was a carpenter who made coffins.
In 1870, 43 year old caroenter Magnus Weaver lived in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his wife Elizabeth (28) and children John (5) and Cathrina (3). Magnus was born in Hesse Cassel, Elizabeth and the children were born in Ohio. The Weaver farm was the last household listed in the census for Enoch Twp. It was next to the farm of John D. and Matilda (Schoeppner) Hill.
In 1880, Magnus Weaver (55) lived in Enoch Twp. with his wife Elizabeth (37) and children Charley (12), Catherine (10), and Fredrick (6). None of the children attended school, according to the census. Also living in the household was 14 year old apprentice farm hand John Cornett, and a 63 year old widowed boarder named Lucretia Sanford. Adjacent farms in the census belonged to John Gerst Jr. and John Sterangel.
From the "Fulda" column of The Caldwell Citizens' Press, 28 Dec 1882:
Magnus Webber is spending the holidays in Pittsburgh.Church records state that Magnus and Elizabeth (Miller) Weber moved away from Fulda, OH in 1891. (destination unknown) Howeever, they still lived in Enoch Twp.in 1900. At that time, 70 year old carpenter Magnus Weaver lived in a house that he owned with his 59 year old wife Elizabeth, their son John (53), his wife Rosa (34), and granddaughter Rachel (3 months).
According to the 1900 census, Magnus Weaver was born in Germany. He could not speak, read, or write, English. He came to America in 1875 and was a naturalized citizen. (The year of immigration is not correct, since he appears in the 1870 census in Ohio.)
In 1850, 19 year old Elizabeth Miller lived and worked on the family farm in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with her parents and two younger siblings. The census states that Elizabeth attended school that year.
Elizabeth was born in Ohio to German-born parents. As an adult, she spoke some English, but could not read or write. The census states that all three of Elizabeth's children were still living in 1900; however, church records state that she had five children.
According to researcher Thomas Singer, Elizabeth had a speech impediment. She spoke only German, and was difficult to understand.
Joseph Weber did not appear with the family in the 1870 census. It is presumed that he died before that time.

From Margaret Coleman's baptimal records, which were found in the "registers of St. Elizabeth" Church, Philadelphia, PA. These records were searched by archivists at the Archives of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, as the records are closed to the public.

Records conflict on place of birth:
Pennsylvania -- Sr. Bertha Hartman
Ohio -- 1930 census.
Records conflict on year of birth:
1885 -- tombstone
1887 or 1888, calculated from age in 1930 census
before 1883, from immigration date in 1930 census.The 1910 census says that Bertha was 24, and she came to America in 1879. (This means that she arrived in the US seven years before she was born.)
According to the 1930 census, Bertha was 42 in 1930, which would put her year of birth at 1887 or 1888. However, the 1930 census also states that she emmigrated from France in 1883. Bertha was a naturalized citizen.
Clara does not appear in the 1930 census with her family. It is not known if Clara is the same person as Cornelia, or if she was a separate person who no longer lived in the household
