"CHARLES WEEKS, formerly Register of Probate and Clerk of the Lincoln County Supreme Judicial Court, was born in Jefferson, Me., January 1, 1845. On the father's side he came of Scotch-Irish ancestry. His mother was a member of the Huston family of Bristol, Me.
"After fitting himself for college at the Lincoln Academy, he completed the course of Bowdoin University in 1865.... Upon leaving the university he taught school for a brief period, and then began the study of law in the office of the Hon. Henry Ingalls, of Wiscasset.
"In 1871 he was elected Register of Probate, the duties of which office he efficiently discharged until 1877. He was then elected Clerk of the Supreme Judicial Court.... He was appointed a Commissioner of the United States Court of Claims, to hear and record evidence in French spoliation cases. In local affairs he attained prominence by the ability and good judgment he displayed in administering the town's business while serving in the capacity of Selectman. For some years he was identified with the management of the Wiscasset Savings Bank, and his advice and legal knowledge were of much value to that institution.
"He took a liberal view of religious matters, and in politics he acted with the Democratic party. He died at his home in Wiscasset, March 5, 1894. The event was mourned in the town as the loss of an honest, conscientious citizen; and his memory is cherished by members of the Lincoln County bar, which he would have honored had he chosen to have entered its ranks.
"On June 15, 1882, the late Mr. Weeks was united in marriage with Emma F. Dodge, who survives him. She was born in Wiscasset, daughter of George and Mary (Stevens) Dodge. The former, who was a well-known mason and builder of this town, died in 1889, aged eighty-six years.
"Mrs. Dodge, who resides in Wiscasset, was the mother of nine children, of whom four are living. These are: Mrs. Nellie Somes, of Manchester, N.H. ; Mrs. Carrie Knight, of Wiscasset; Herman B. Dodge, of this town; and Mrs. Weeks, who is the eldest.
"Mrs. Weeks is the mother of three daughters, as follows: Mary D., who was born February 5, 1884; Esther H., who was born September 23, 1886; and Emelyn F., who was born on January 21, 1889...."
