RHODES coy. MoURNED AS DEAD,
WRITES PEOPLE AFTER
EIGHT YEARS.
MAYOR WEEKS AND FAMILY
HAVE REAL THANKSGIVING
Eight Years, Makes Self Known A.
Philippines Twice-May Leave Soon
for Mexican Frontier.

y real Thanksgiving is in store for
Mayor H NJ. Weeks and family, OF
Rhodes, from the fact that, after hav
ing mourned as dead their son and
brother. Daniel P. Weeks, the latter
rises from the grave. as it We're. and
advises his parents that he is alive
and We'll.
No happier surprise could be
imagined than the letter which Mayor
Weeks opened and found it to be sign
ed by his son. Eight long years have
elapsed since the parents have heard
anything from their son. and i, has
been over ten years since the young
iIiau has seen the home folks.
Is Serving in Army.
Becoming careless in writing after
enlisting in the army eight years ago.
Young Weeks reasoned that his par
ents would believe some mishap had
befallen him; perhaps that he was
dead, and on this theory believed ne
might as well continue to carry out
that idea
Mother Mourned Son as Dead.
That his wife has mourned her son
as dead was declared today by Mayor
Weeks TO the Times Republican. Mr..
Weeks says, however. that altho he
like his wife and the rest of the fam
lily, has worried great deal over the
boy, and what may have become OF
him. he fully believed that some day
he would turn up The letter, how
ever, proved almost too good to be true
and in many ways it was like hearing
from the dead to receive the epistle
Son Well and Contented.
Daniel Weeks writes his father that
he is We'll and contented. He has been
in the army for eight years. and is now
a member of the Fourteenth infantry,
stationed at Fort Smelling. Mimi. Dur
ing his service four years have been
spent in the Philippines, on two differ
ent trips of two years service each.
Mr.. Weeks says that he is going to try
and obtain a furlough soon and come
to Rhodes to see his parents. unless it
should be that his regiment is ordered
to the Mexican frontier. This is being
talked of at the present time.
Former Oelwein Contractor.
Young Weeks was formerly in the
carpenter contracting business at Gel
vein, and it was from that point tha<
he disappeared, apparently, from the
land of the living. Prior to that time
he was in Montana for few wears,
and while there wrote regularly to his
parents Mr. Weeks is now Sc years
old
