Clarence Weber, M. D. Though a physician of high standing
and with an excellent practice at Bartlesville, which city has been
his home for the past ten years. Doctor Weber is also a practical oil
man, and is connected with a number of important companies in that
field in Oklahoma.
Perhaps the
environment of his early home had something to do with his activities
in the oil industry and with his location at Bartlesville, one of the
chief centers of the oil and gas district of the Southwest. Doctor
Clarence Weber was born at Oil City, Venango County, Pennsylvania,
February 15, 1882. His father is also a practical oil man, and
likewise a physician. The parents are Doctor Howard and Etta (Cortes)
Weber, both natives of Venango County. Dr. Howard Weber was educated
and graduated from the Long Island Hospital Medical College at
Brooklyn, and was engaged in active practice in Western Pennsylvania
until 1904, when he. brought his family to Bartlesville, Oklahoma,
and has since lived in that city. In Oklahoma he has not attempted
practice, but has concerned himself entirely with the oil business.
Clarence Weber, who
was one of a family of five children, graduated in 1905 from the
College of Physicians and Surgeons at Baltimore, and almost at once
returned to Bartlesville and opened an office as a physician and
surgeon. For the past four years he has served as county health
officer of Washington County and is a member in good standing in the
county and state medical societies and the American Medical
Association. He had practical experience in the oil industry
beginning as a boy with his father, and is now an officer in a number
of oil companies.
Doctor Weber is a
democrat in politics and a member of the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks. In 1904 he married Miss Margaret Cunniff, who was born
in New York City, and grew up and lived there until her marriage.
