I keep finding references to Weber's weight but I don't feel compelled to add them all to the article.

NY Times Obit: "As her years piled upo so did her avoirdupois and Lisa Weber found her popularity decrease in proportion."
("He and you were the High Priests in "Mazeppa," if you remember, and had to carry Lisa Weber across the stage, you taking her head and he her heels. Do you recollect what he said to her, on the first night, as you were both staggering towards the couch?--"Well, I've played with Fanny Kemble, Cushman, Glyn, and all of them, but hang me,my dear, if you ain't the heaviest lead I've ever supported."' [Illustration: 'HE AND YOU HAD TO CARRY LISA WEBER ACROSS THE STAGE'] - though she doesn't really look that heavy in the illustration)
Life in New York (St. Paul Daily Globe, July 12, 1885, see column 4 under "Like to Gossip") Author talks about present whereabouts of Thompson's crew. "Lisa Weber passed me in the street the other day and I barely recognized her, so fat and old she had gotten."
