TRIBUTE to MR. WEYERBACHER - Boonville, Indiana Enquirer, Friday, January 9, 1925:
Boonville has lost a citizen of sterling worth in the untimely death of W.F. Weyerbacher who died Saturday morning as the result of injuries sustained when struck by an automobile Friday night.
Mr. Weyerbacher lived a full life. He was a widely known business man and was an active leader in the civic life of his city. His influence was always for the better things, and it was felt in practically every phase of his city's life. He had reached the stage in life when it was possible to take things "easy" and enjoy that rare quality of happiness which comes from a life well lived.
Probably one of the happiest moments in his life occurred a little more than a year ago when a giant United States navy dirigible designed by his son, Ralph Weyerbacher, with the son on board, passed over Boonville one night on a test flight to St. Louis. Thus it came about that the name, Weyerbacher, respected and honored in Boonville, became honored and respected throughout the nation. That is happiness such as comes to few fathers.
To the relatives and friends, and to the citizens of Boonville, the Courier extends its heartfelt sympathy in this hour of sorrow.---Evansville Courier.
