WEBER, M. D. Standing in the front rank of the able and successful physicians of Campbell county is Dr. Frederick C. Weber, who has long been regarded as one of the most reliable and dependable members of his profession in his locality, where he has long enjoyed a large and representative practice. He was born in Newport, Kentucky, on the 13th day of August, 1877, and is a son of Fred J. and Carrie M. (Junker) Weber, both of whom are deceased, the mother dying in 1916 and the father in 1920. The former, born in Cincinnati, Ohio, came to Newport in 1846 and engaged in the jewelry business, to which he devoted his attention during the remaining active years of his life. The paternal grandfather, John Weber, was born and reared in the Rhine province of Germany, and located in Cincinnati, Ohio, about 1840, while the grandmother, whose family name was Ehlinger, was a native of Alsace, Germany. The maternal grandfather came from Hanover, Germany. To Fred J. and Carrie M.

Frederick C. Weber received his elementary education in the Newport public schools, graduating from the high school, and then entered Pulte Medical College, in Cincinnati, where he was graduated in 1904. He served as interne at the Pulte College Hospital, served as house physician for two years, and then for two years was physician in charge of the clinic at Union Bethel Hospital. He then located at Newport, where he has built up a large practice, being the only homeopathic physician in this city. He was a medal student in his first year in medical college and received his second year’s tuition free. He also taught hygiene and sanitary science in Pulte Medical College two years. He is a member of the Kenton-Campbell Medical Society, the Kentucky State Medical Society and the Cincinnati Lyceum. He served two years as a member of the health board of Newport, is physician for the Orphans’ Home, and has been a member of the Newport school board for two years. While he conducts a general practice, he specializes in obstetrical work, in which he has attained more than ordinary success. He is a member of Newport Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons; Newport Commandery, Knights Templar, of which he is a past eminent commander, and Syrian Temple, Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, at Cincinnati. In September, 1917, Doctor Weber enlisted in the United States Medical Corps, in which he was commissioned a first lieutenant, and was called for active duty on March 25, 1918. He was sent overseas and served until July, 1919, being made adjutant for Base Hospital Seventeen annex, of which he had charge. He is now a member of the American Legion. A man of splendid personal character, strong individuality and closely devoted to his profession, he has long commanded the respect of his fellow men, and is deservedly popular in the social circles of his city.
