a six-week teachers’ tour in Europe and enjoyed an extended trip around the
world. After they retired, Howard and Ina also enjoyed spending the winters in
South Padre Island, Texas. After Howard’s death in 1982, Ina continued to visit
their friends in South Padre, accompanied by various family members. Ina stayed

To this union three sons were born and raised, Kenneth, Duane and Ronald. The
couple farmed on a dairy and hog farm in Franklin County, instilling in their
children the love of God and family as Merle’s parents had done for him.
Merle
enjoyed music very much and frequently played steel guitar and harmonica for
local dances in his younger years. He also sang for many years with a male
quartet and in his later years he noted sadly as each of the quartet members
were called home to be with the Lord. As Merle now enjoys a sweet reunion with
family and friends who have gone on before, the old quartet is also reunited in
heavenly harmony. He was a member of the St. Peter’s United Church of Christ, having
served in many positions including church council and elders.
Merle is survived by two sons, Duane Weber and wife, Karen of
Andover, Minnesota and Ronald Weber and wife, Patricia of Casa Grande, Arizona;
