The Cambridge City (IN) Tribune, Thursday, May 5, 1887
Dr. David N. Weekly was born near Centerville, Wayne County, Ind., December 4th, 1846, and died at Straughn, Henry county, Ind., Sunday May 1st, 1887, aged 40 years, 4 months and 27 days. He was the third child in a family of five children of Mordecai and Nancy Ann Weekly. All are dead now except Isaiah of this city. His father died when he was eight years of age, leaving his mother in very limited circumstances. He received a common school education and worked on the farm until he was near 21 years of age, when he began to learn the trade of a blacksmith, which he followed a very short time, as his health would not stand the strain of the hard work. He then clerked in a dry goods store at Lewisville, and afterwards in a restaurant at Cincinnati. He concluded to enter the medical profession and began the study of it in 1876. He graduated from the Medical College of Ohio in March, 1880, and began practicing his profession at Straughns the same Spring. He was married to Miss Nellie R. Minor, of Connersville, October 1, 1879. His wife and one daughter, aged six years, survive him.
The doctor was of studious habits, and a very painstaking, conscientious physician. He soon entered on an extensive practice. He enjoyed not only the confidence of the community in which he lived and worked, but was beloved by all, and all mourn his loss as a very dear friend. He is mourned as a physician, and his loss is deplored. He joined the Presbyterian church at Lewisville, in 1878, and has always lived an upright, consistent and Christian life. His suffering during the twelve days of his sickness was intense, but whenever murmured. He hoped to the last that he might be spared to live with his family, whom he loved so well. The medical profession has lost a conscientious worked and member and the community an estimable citizen. His aged mother, of this city, survives him, and is almost broken-hearted from his loss.
The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church, in Cambridge City, Tuesday, May 3, and the remains were interred in Riverside Cemetery. Rev. Clark read the obituary notice, after which Rev. John Doddridge, of Connersville, who is a cousin of the deceased, paid a touching tribute to the memory of the dead. A large concourse of his friends followed him to the grave, where the last sad rites were said, and left with sorrowing hearts, felling that a most noble man had passed from earth.
