Here's the obituary for the Weedmark I promised you. Sorry to have been so long in getting it. Services Planned Wednesday For William P. Weedmark, 71 Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, September 15, at 2 p.m. at Niccolls Memorial Presbyterian Church in Old Forge, for William P. Weedmark, 71, who died on Friday, September 10, at a Utica hospital. Mr. Weedmark was born in Illion, the son of William and Marion Porter Weedmark. He graduated as Valedictorian of the Town of Webb High School Class of 1946, where he received the Bausch & Lomb Scholarship. He was married to Naiomi Joy in October 1955, and was employed by the Town of Webb. He was a member of Niccolls Church, a life member of the Old Forge Volunteer Fire Department, and a member of the Town of Webb Historical Association Board of Directors. He was an instructor with the National Rifle Association and an accomplished photographer. Mr. Weedmark is survived by two sons, William C. and John P.

Calling hours will be held today, Tuesday, September 14, from 2 to 4 and from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Eldridge-Dimbleby Funeral Home in Old Forge. Burial will be in Riverview Cemetery in Old Forge. The family has asked that in lieu of flowers friends consider a memorial gift to the Old Forge Volunteer Fire Department Ambulance Fund, the Town of Webb Historical Association or the Town of Webb Community Scholarship Fund. Envelopes will be available at the funeral home. Adirondack Express, Old Forge, NY, 14 September 1999, page 2 col. 1. I'll try to sniff around the Historical Society, and Library to see if they have anything on his parents. This paper was started too recently to have anything on them in their archives, but there was an earlier paper, and since he went to school here it's possible they died locally, and that we can get the name of his father's parents. I'll see.
