Biography
John B. Weber answered the call to serve with distinction, first as a Civil War veteran and later as a public servant who represented western New York in the halls of Congress. He brought the needs of his constituents to the national stage, championing veterans, infrastructure, and commerce that would sustain the communities around Buffalo.
After leaving elective office he remained deeply engaged in civic life, offering calm counsel and practical leadership that kept local institutions vibrant. Residents who visit Forest Lawn Cemetery still recall his steady presence and the fairness that underpinned his long career in politics.
