YUBA COUNTY
Biographies
NICHOLAS J. WEBER, JR.
How well Yuba City is supplied with the necessaries, the conveniences and the luxuries of life, such as are essential to make any town a desirable home-place and residential center, is illustrated in the well-stocked and well-managed grocery stores of Nicholas J. Weber, Jr., on Second and Plumas Streets. He is a native son, born at Marysville, on February 17, 1889, the son of Nicholas J. and Mary Barbara (Duiser) Weber. His father came across the plains and mountains with oxen in 1854, and settled near Yuba City on a grain ranch, afterward engaging in draying in Marysville. He was a pioneer who builded broadly and well; and his wife was a woman of noble character and kindly temperament, whose homely virtues are recalled by those who knew her with esteem and affection. Mr. Weber is still living, making his residence at 830 F Street, Marysville.
Young Nicholas attended both the parochial and the public schools, and thereafter was with S. G. King Company in Marysville for about seven years. He then spent three years in the grocery store of B. W. White, also in Marysville, after which he decided to engage in business on his own account and started a grocery store at the corner of Fifth and D Streets, in Marysville, which he conducted with success. About 1918 he came to Yuba City and opened a store on Second Street, and three years later he established his second store and meat market on Plumas Street; and his good judgment in foreseeing just what the community needed is shown in the success he has attained with each venture. He is today one of Yuba City’s prosperous business men, and his staff of assistants are kept busy in catering to the public’s daily needs. Mr. Weber is also interested in horticulture, owning a ten-acre peach orchard near Franklin Corners, Sutter County.
Nicholas J. Weber, Jr., was united in marriage with Miss Elsie Tull, one of the popular native daughters of Yuba City; and they have one son, Nicholas, 3rd, and a daughter, Elizabeth. Mr. Weber is an Elk, a Knight of Columbus, of the 3rd degree, and also a Woodmen of the World. He is fond of hunting and fishing, and of outdoor sports generally. In politics he thinks and votes independently.
