Weeks of Willis, with whom he made his home; Mrs. Della Slusher of Oakes,N. Dakota; Mrs. Linda Martin of Cranston, Kentucky; Mrs. S.T. Weeks of Bedford, Virginia; Mrs. Bettie Ferrell of Roanoke;nd Mrs. Nannie Bane of Bluefield, West Virginia.His wife and three daughter, Dora, Eliza, and Amanda Spence preceded him to the grave several years.He served in the war and belonged to the 54th Virginia Regiment, Co. D. He won the name of "Dick" in the war and was familiarly known as Uncle Dick Weeks.He had been nearly blind for 5 years and bore his afflictions with patience...He and old Uncle Cricket Woods spent many happy hours talking of their battlefield experiences as they were in the same regiment. Uncle Dick remarked to his son just a few days before he was taken sick, that he did not want to lay sick long and seemed in better health than usual. He was taken sick suddenly with something like paralysis and only lived 5 days... He was buried at Willis by the side of his wife after services by the Reverend Bailey of the Methodist Church, of which he was a consistent member.
