Told in his own wry, dry, tongue-in-cheek subtle humorous style, Ben Weber, takes the reader on a delightful journey through his family tree from ancient Germany, through 19th century travel to the United States and thus to Ohio and Michigan, all by water, to his grandfather’s settling in Nottawa Township, Isabella County, Michigan. Meet the Webers and their Beal City neighbors. In a previously unpublished memoir, edited and augmented by Jack R. Westbrook, Ben J. Weber (above in 1975) relates the story of his personal quest for his family history.
