Peter Weeks died at his home in New Lisbon [Otsego Co. NY], Dec. 31st.  It has been three months since the sad accident occurred which was the cause of his death - sad, weary months to the wife and children who so kindly ministered to his every want, for he could not move a hand or foot and yet he retained his mental faculties until near the last.  His spine being injured, he had no use of his body and the flesh has been gradually decaying and for some weeks it had been necessary to keep his limbs bandaged to prevent the flesh from falling off.  The flesh had fallen from his back in such a manner that his spine and a part of the intestines were exposed to view.  He suffered no pain from the fact that his body was as if it were dead from the neck where the spine was injured.  It was a sad affair and his family have the deep sympathy of the whole neighborhood.
