Obituary	The silent angel of death has again entered our community and taken from our midst a devoted daughter, wife, mother and friend to all, in the person of Etta. L. Weeks, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.W. Farrar. She as united in marriage with Earle O. Weeks June 17, 1905, and their happy life together of true devotion extended until her death last Monday. Had she lived until Thursday it would have been their tenth wedding anniversary. She was born twenty-eight years ago July 27, and has spent all her life in West Ripley, with the exception of the first few years of her married life which were spent in Palmyra and Hartland, after which Mr. Weeks bought what is known as the Bagley place, adjoining their fathers farm and has since resided there. To them were born two children, Gladys, aged five and an infant son of two weeks. Mrs. Weeks was noted for her great affection for her home, both as a girl and as a wife. She was one who did not mingle with the outside world or in company, but was ever happy in her own home, although very quiet, she gained many friends and her home was shared with all in the amiable manner which made her friends always feel at home when there. Etta genial disposition won for her a large circle of friends. She was always kind to those in need and always ready with a helping hand and was a woman whom the town had need to be proud of. All that faithful love and devotion could do was done to alleviate her suffering, but to no avail, God saw fit to take her home. Besides her husband, children and parents, she leaves three brothers, Ivan of Harmony, Raymond and Chester of Ripley; two sisters Mrs. John Wakefield and Miss Lina Farrar both of Ripley, besides many aunts and uncles of this and surrounding towns. The funeral services were held at her late home under the direction of Clyde Martin and were largely attended, all seeming anxious to express respect for the deceased and sympathy for the bereaved family. Rev. Frank Kingdon of Harmony spoke words of comfort and sand two selections. There was a profusion of flowers from relatives and loving friends. The interment was at West Ripley cemetery
