THOMPSON DIMOCK WEEKS (Spencer7, Samuel6, Hezekiah5, William4, John3, William2, 
George1), son of Spencer WEEKS and Elvira, daughter of Thomas and Sophia 
DIMOCK, was born at Norwich, Massachusetts, November 5, 1832; came in 1843 from 
Darien, New York, to a farm in Lyons; received academic education at Milwaukee 
and a collegiate course at Appleton; was graduated from the law school at 
Albany in 1859.  After a few months at Racine he went in 1860 to Whitewater and 
became a partner with Prosper CRAVATH.  He married, June 7, 1865, Adelaide M. 
FARNSWORTH.  At the session of 1867 he was assemblyman, chosen over Capt. 
Edward S. REDINGTON.  In 1875 he was state senator, his involuntary opponent at 
the election having been John F. POTTER, who voted an open ticket, straight 
Republican, including the name of Mr. WEEKS.  He appeared again in the senate 
in 1893, having beaten Archibald WOODARD.  He died February 11, 1901.  He 
became early in his professional career one of the ablest lawyers of the county 
and was favorably known in the courts of other counties and in the supreme 
court of the state.  He talked easily and candidly to juries, and without 
bluster of fustian, and he was a ready and pleasing speaker out of court.  He 
was in sympathetic touch with all the educational interests of his city, county 
and state.  His probity in public affairs and in private life was undoubted.
