Necrological.

On last Sunday evening at 8 o'clock, Mr. Charles Conrad Weeks quietly passed 
away, surrounded by his devoted family. He had been ill for some weeks, 
first taken with a malarial fever. In the early part of last week his 
symptoms were considered alarming, and Miss H. S. Weeks, who was in Chicago, 
was telegraphed for. She arrived on Wednesday to find her father much better 
and all greatly encouraged at his improved condition. On last Saturday 
morning his symptoms again assumed an alarming character and he gradually 
sank till the end.

Mr. Weeks was a native of this place, a respected citizen, a kind and loving 
husband and an indulgent father. He was sixty-eight years of age at his 
death. He was a slave owner before the war, and as an unostentatious tribute 
of the respect and esteem in which he was held by his old slaves, they came 
to gaze upon his peaceful countenance reposed in his last sweet sleep.

The funeral services took place from the Epiphany Episcopal Church, on last 
Monday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, Rev. C. C. Kramer officiating. The pall-
bearers were: Judge Don Foster, Messrs. L. O. Hacker, George M. Robertson, 
Maurice Galliand, A. B. Murray and E. F. Millard. The remains were placed at 
rest in the family plot in the Protestant Cemetary (sic).
