The Carson City Gazette, Thursday, November 17, 1938


Julia Ann Weeks was born at Fort McCrea, Florida on the 4th of December 1849 
and during the period of 88 years, 11 months and four days of life, has 
witnessed great changes take place in nation and state as well as community 
with which her life has been closely associated.  Her father, David P Weeks was 
the commanding officer at Fort McCrea during the Seminole Indian war, and her 
mother was the only white woman within the fort.  At the close of the war her 
parents came to Michigan by way of the Mississippi river and its tributaries 
and Lake Michigan.  After landing at Grand Haven then came by ox cart to a land 
warrant near Maple Rapids of 160 acres.  With them came Mr. and Mrs. Albert 
Russell with whom they have been close friends during the years.

She was married on March 30th 1876 to Ralph L. Hoge, and since that time she 
has resided in Hubbardston with the exception of a short period of time when 
they lived at St. Louis, Michigan.  The experiences which she has had during 
her life time were those of any pioneer and the things she learned from them 
made her life very helpful to those who knew her.  Never playing an important 
part in community affairs, she nevertheless has left an imprint upon its life, 
because her husband was for many years active in the G.A.R. she entered into 
the activities of the woman’s Relief Corps.

She leaves to mourn her departure, the husband, Ralph L. Hoge, a son Albert 
David Hoge, a grandson, Ralph Byron Hoge, all of Hubbardston, one sister, Mrs. 
Norman Campbell of Grand Ledge, and seven nieces and three nephews.

The funeral services were held from the Hubbardston Methodist Episcopal Church 
on Thursday, November 10th and the burial was in the West Side cemetery at 
Hubbardston.  The Rev. John W. Broxholn officiated at the services.
