'TOWN OF CANAAN.
resident and useful citizen of that town. About 1861 he returned to Canaan, purchased a farm of 260 acres, and has since built the fine farm buildings on his estate, making as beautiful a home as could be desired. This is the third set of dwelling houses, barns and out-buildings he has erected on as many different farms, and, until 1884, he carried'on agriculture on his Canaan and Stewartstown farms, when he retired from active business. But "tilling the soil" has not been Mr. Weeks's only labor. His practical, keen judgment was the first to foresee the future value of the timber land in the Upper Coos · country, and, in 1868, he invested in a tract of woodland containing a thou- sand acres, and he was the pioneer in the lumber business of the upper Con- necticut. He took the contract in 1869 of delivering the first drive of logs ever run down the Connecticut river at Turner's Falls, Mass., which, in spite of all the prophecies of failure, he accomplished, and thus inaugurated the in- dustry which has since assumed such great proportions. He was one of the charter members and originators of "Frontier Grange," No. 211, of Canaan, was the builder and is the owner of the Grange Hall, and also one of the originators of the Union Store, of which he has always been a director. Mr. Weeks is a Democrat in politics, has served as selectman and justice of the peace, and is known as a man worthy of trust. In his religious principles he is a Universalist. Kind hearted, generous and whole-souled, he is a good husband, father and citizen. Although not given to much speech, he has shown himself a wise, thoughtful and sagacious man, and his acts have ever spoken for him. He has, with his hard-earned money, been instrumental in many ways in adding to the prosperity and material wealth of not only Canaan, but all this section. A grand old man, with his advanced years, he has the strength of character, mental acumen and keen practicality of one in the prime of life, and is loved, honored and reverenced by a broad circle of friends.

Concord is decidedly an agricultural town. A large portion of the territory is stony and uneven, but the soil is very strong and fertile. On both the Connecticut and Moose rivers are fine meadows, and the whole township is abundantly supplied with never-failing springs of pure soft water. Among the streams are Hall's brook, issuing from Hall's pond in the southwesterly part of the town ; Miles stream, issuing from Miles pond in the northwesterly part ; Mink brook, near the center ; Moose river, in the westerly part; and with the Connecticut river many fine mill sites are afforded. Hall's pond is a beautiful sheet of water more than a mile in length and about a half mile in width. Miles pond is considerably larger. It lies just southwest of Miles mountain, the highest elevation of land in the town. These ponds are well stocked with fish. Brooks pond is a small sheet of water in the central part. The greatest natural curiosity of the township is Miles cave, a cavern in the Miles mountain, which has never been fully explored.
