Frederick and Mary Weis settled in that part of Dorchester which had been the home of her ancestors since the settlement of Dorchester in 1630. Frederick Weis was a useful and much respected citizen. He was a music lover and for many years he sang tenor in the choir at the First Parish Church. Behind his home on Clapp Place he grafted some three score pear trees of many varieties and these trees bore so well that he was continually besieged by requests for graftings. The mother excelled in all domestic arts—was a faithful church worker and was possessed of so sweet and unselfish a disposition that all who came in contact with her were impelled to love her.
