The subject of this sketch is a native of the town of Wayne, Kennebec County, Maine, and was born December 22, 1829. He received a fair schooling, and was apprenticed to the stone cutter's trade, which he thoroughly mastered before he was twenty years old. At the age of twenty he made up his mind to come to California, and accordingly sailed from Boston in the ship New Jersey, bound around Cape Horn for the Golden Gate. His voyage was long but uneventful. After arriving in San Francisco he went to the mines, but remained only a short time, and then came to Santa Cruz, where he engaged in farming, and then in the real estate business.
Mr. Weeks was united in marriage to Miss Maggie Morgan. The issue of this union has been a daughter, Clara, and son, Allie. The former is now the wife of Frank Stearns, of Los Gators. The son is still a resident of Santa Cruz.
Mr. And Mrs. Weeks have their home in a handsome residence on Walnut Avenue Hill, in Santa Cruz. Mr. Weeks is a member of the Society of California Pioneers.
