CHARLEY McGEE WEEDE

   Funeral services for Charley McGee Weede, 77, who died in Mt. Sinai 
Hospital, Milwaukee, Wis. early Friday morning June 29, were conducted at the 
grave in Poplar Spring Cemetery on Sunday afternoon at 5 o’clock by Rev. Elmer 
N. Hassell, pastor of High Street Methodist Church, and Rev. J. S. Maxey.

   The pallbearers were Dennis L. Brett, Edward F. Gillian, Edgar Jackson, L. 
Bailey Maddrey, W.T. Pace, Jr., George G. Smith, Harry Steinhardt and H.L. 
Westbrook.

   Mr. Weede was born in Murfreesboro, N.C. on September 30, 1873, the son of 
the late Joseph T. and Celia Jackson Weede.  Preceding his parents to Franklin 
by a year or two, he attended the school taught by the late Mrs. M.L. Bryant 
and made his home with his grandfather, the late Capt. J.A. Jackson.

   As a young man he enlisted in the Marine Corps and was stationed aboard the 
USS Maine, being transferred from that ship only a short while before it was 
blown up in the harbor of Havana, Cuba.  Afterwards he served in the navy and 
army, and was in the Philippine Islands during the insurrection led by 
Aguinaldo.  His career in the service of his country was rich in interesting 
experiences.

   Returned to civilian life, he worked for some years with a rubber company in 
Akron, Ohio.  After residing for a [...*] in Cincinnati he moved to Milwaukee, 
where he spent his last years.  He had made several visits to his relatives 
here.

   In failing health for some months, he became critically ill about three 
weeks ago, when he was removed to the hospital.  At his bedside when he passed 
away were his brothers, J. Edgar Weede and Willie M. Weede of Franklin.

   The remains were brought to Franklin for burial in the family plot in Poplar 
Spring Cemetery.

   Surviving him are a sister, Miss Pattie D. Weede, and three brothers, Jesse 
A., J. Edgar and Willie M. Weede, all of Franklin; and two nephews, Davis 
Weede of Atlanta, Ga., and Jesse A. Weede, Jr., of Franklin.  A sister, Miss 
Lizzie R. Weede, passed away in January.

*"The Tidewater News" was stored in the attic of the TN building for years 
before the LVA copied them.  There is a line running through the print at 
the top and middle of many of the papers and it effected many of the obits. 
I've put elipses for the part that's missing. If it's obvious what's said, 
I've tried to fill it in. (bs)
