Weeks, Parker E. (deceased), Whose portrait appears in this work, was born in
China, Kennebec county, Maine, in October, 1823. Here he remained till he was
seventeen years of age. His parents then removed to Penobscot county in the same

followed two years, and then came to California.  His first business enterprise
was farming in Fremont, on the Sacramento river. A few years later he went to
