in the Weeks name, the subject of this sketch being of the eighth gen-

as member of Congress. To Mr. and Mrs. William H. Weeks were
born three children, namely: Julia A., wife of George A. Francis; Jose-
phine B., wife of Charles E. Hall, and John W. The Weeks farm is
now being carried on under the name of John W. Weeks & Son. It is
a good property, well taken care of, and its careful management brings
satisfactory financial results.

a daughter of John 0. and Martha J. (Harman) Lord, of Gt. Falls,
now Somersworth, N. H. He and his wife have had three children:
