    3. It's called the Weber memorial because he was the pastor of the church. It's called the Milliron Church because the Millirons donated the land. Nicholas Long married Anna Elizabetha Milliron and they inherited the land adjacent to the church. Elizabetha wet-nursed one of Weber's children. Phillip Milliron, Tobias Long and Weber were founders of the church. Weber was controversial and intended to use the extended parcel of land surrounding the church as a retreat and rest home for retired pastors. Weber was buried there. On the day he was buried, the sky suddenly clouded, a strong wind came up and lightning struck over the site. Those attending unceremoniously dumped Weber in his grave and fled the scene. For many years thereafter the site was considered haunted and the church fell out of use. Many of the original stones deteriorated and were gathered to build the altar table that still remains in the church. Weber's is probably among them. Tom Chapman (Milliron)
