Death of Mrs. Weeks
Pioneer Born In Mosa Township Eighty-eight Years Ago
There passed away on Saturday last, May 14th, one of the oldest residents of Mosa township in the person of Lydia Jane, widow of the late Wm. Weekes, in her 88th year. She was born and grew to woman hood on the Big Bend. In 1855 she was married and came to her late home, where she resided for nearly 66 years. In 1905 she and Mr. Weeks celebrated their golden wedding. Five years later Mr. Weeks was called to his eternal home. For nearly eleven years longer she was spared to those whom she loved.
Mrs. Weeks was a devout Christian, having been converted when but fifteen years of age. She at once joined the Methodist church in Wardsville, and from then till her death, seventy-two years later, she was a faithful, consistent member of the same, transferring her membership forty-two years ago to Glencoe. She joined the W.M.S. in Glencoe at the end of the first years of its organization, thus being a member continuously for twenty-nine years.
She is survived by ten of the thirteen children that were born to her and Mr. Weekes. They are W.J. and G.N. in London; Edwin, in Mosa; Abel, Tom and Alfred in the West; Mrs. F. Aldred, in Glencoe; Mrs. (Rev.) Kerr in Bothwell; Mrs. W. Leonard, late in Chength, China, now of Glencoe, and Herbert, on the homestead.
The funeral service, which was from her late residence to Simpson's cemetery, was conducted by Rev. R. J. Garbutt, pastor of the Glencoe Methodist church.
The spirit of her life lives on
In Many a loving heart.
The fight of faith she bravely won, Now let us do our part.
