Henry Seiter's sister - Susie Seiter Weber






Okay – so I have posted on my great grandfather Henry Seiter [1883 – 1959] and great grandmother Catherine Marr Seiter [1883-1914] as well as Catherine Marr’s siblings. Now to Henry Seiter’s siblings, then to Henry’s kids and then to Henry’s ancestors.

Henry had a sister named Susie [birth, census and marriage records refer to her as Susan, Susie, or Sussiana] who was born on 9/14/1880 [see above image #1 - Click on the picture to enlarge].

Susie married Charles Weber on 5/3/1902 [see above image #2 - Click on the picture to enlarge]. Charles Weber was born in Washington DC about 1878 and was the son of Valentine Weber and Karoline Schmohl. Charles was a bricklayer.

Susie and Charles had two daughters [Charlotte in about 1903 and Phoebe in about 1906] and a son , Charles, in about 1912. Susie died in 1962 and is buried in Greenfield Cemetery, Uniondale, NY with her sister Phoebe, her brother in law John and her mother Katharine [Hess] Seiter [Section 31a, Lot 57 graves 3 & 4].
The only gravestone at the site lists only Phoebe and John, but burial records show that Susie Weber and Katherine Hess Seiter are also buried there.

Picture #3 is the 1910 census. Picture #4 is the 1920 census [Charles Weber is barely legible, and Susie , right below him isn’t legible at all]. Picture #5 is the 1930 census [This is nice because it shows that Susie and her sister - Phoebe Callahan - were very close to Katherine Seiter, their mother. They all bought houses next to each other.] Click on the pictures to enlarge
