SILVER CREEK BUSINESSMAN PASSES AWAY
Gordon L. Weeks
SILVER CREEK, April 28 -- Gordon L. Weeks, a prominent resident of this village, died suddenly at the Citizens' club, Saturday afternoon. Death was due to apoplexy. Mr. Weeks was in his usual health, when he left his home shortly after noon. Mr. Weeks was 77 years of age. He was graduated from Albany Normal college, and in 1868 took charge of the Silver Creek schools.

Many years he conducted the flour and feed mill near his residence on Main street. Mr. Weeks had always been connected with the educational interests of the village, having served on the school board 35 years, and much of that time as its president.
