Death of Mrs. Sarah Weeks

Mrs. Sarah Weekes died at her home here on Monday morning after a protracted 
illness.  For several days previous to her death her condition was realized to 
be hopeless and her death was not unexpected.

Mrs. Weekes was seventy-six years of age.  She was a sister of the late Judge 
Henry Leonard who was for years the Ordinary of Talbot County.  She was an aunt 
of Mr. Robt. Leonard of Dallas, Mr. Charlie Leonard of Macon and Miss Sallie 
Leonard of Talbotton.

The funeral exercises were conducted from the home on Wednesday morning at ten 
o’clock, by Rev. Bascom Sentell of the Methodist church.  The funeral was 
largely attended.  The remains were entered in Oak Hill Cemetery.  

Mrs. Weekes had a great many friends in Talbotton and will be sadly missed.  
She was a member of the Methodist church and a consecrated Christian woman.

*Note – In the August 25, 1904 issue of the New Era on page 6, there is a 
tribute written in memory of Mrs. Weekes.
