Joseph [sic] K. Weston was born in Bloomfield, Somerset county, Maine, in 1816, where he received a common school education. In 1832 he came to Penobscot county with his father, where he engaged in lumbering and farming. In 1844 he married Lucy J. Wilson in Bingham. In 1880 he sold out his mill to R. W. Wilson and turned his attention exclusively to farming, in which business he is now engaged. He was engaged in the mercantile business in South Levant for over twenty-five years, where he held the office of Postmaster during that time. He then resigned in favor of R. W. Wilson, the present Postmaster. He has also held the office of Selectman for over six years, and was Chairman of the Board two years. He was elected to represent his class in the State Legislature in 1872, and has always taken an active part in the cause of temperance. He has had five children: Howard W., Mattie B, Flavill, and two died in infancy.[6]
