Morris J. Weber (1869-1969) was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and died in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He immigrated to the United States in 1891, worked as a farmer, and married Emma L. Weber (b. Fisher) in Roseburg, Oregon, in 1894. Weber became a naturalized citizen in 1897. He came to Christian Science in 1902, when his wife was healed using Christian Science treatment through prayer, and they studied it with Blanche Hersey Hogue. They joined The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, on June 23, 1903.
Weber wrote to Mary Baker Eddy in 1905, describing his difficulty following her advice to pray for peace in the Russo-Japanese War. He wrote to her again the following year, expressing his love and gratitude that Christian Science had found its way to Russia, where a practitioner had healed his relative in Saint Petersburg. Weber resided abroad in Russia from 1913 to 1918. His wife passed away in 1916, and around 1918 he married Mary Weber (b. Fedorova) in Russia. They returned to Oregon and then resided in Germany from 1920 to 1923. By 1930 they had moved to Rivanna, Virginia. Weber withdrew from the church in July 1922, but became a member again on November 3, 1933.
