to the service of his country during the civil war. His birth was on May 
7, 1826, and Jacob and Sarah (Williamson) Weekley were his parents. They 
died in this district, and lie buried on the homestead farm. In Tyler 
county, December 19, 1850, the words were spoken, joining in one the 
lives of Daniel Weekley and Elizabeth J. Pratt, and their ten children

Station. Sarah E. lives in Gilmer county, this State; Laura C. in a home 
of her own in Tyler county; and the other children with their parents. 
William S. and Martha (Underwood) Pratt were the parents of Mr. Weekley's

in this county, and her mother now makes her home in Doddridge county. 
Her father was a soldier of the 1812 war. Daniel Weekley, with his half-

war, serving three years, except Elisha, who died at West Union in the 
first year of the war. Mrs. Weekley also had three brothers in that war, 
William W., John E., and Thomas J. Pratt. Mr. Weekley receives his mail
