The Grave of Thurlow Weed's Mother
Louisville, Ky., December 2...A Clarkville, Tenn., special to the Courier Journal says: Thurlow Weed's mother is buried in this town. About 40 years ago Osborn Weed, a brother of Thurlow, located near Clarkville, at one time engaging in merchandising at Palmyra. Later he removed to Clarkville, where he kept a hotel. His mother visited him, and on the visit she died, and was buried in Trinity Cemetery. The citizens of Clarkville removed Mrs. Weed's remains to the city cemetery. The grave is now in a very neglected condition, of which fact Thurlow was informed since the war, but made no response. [The Atchison Daily Champion (Kansas), 3 Dec 1882, pg 1]

Thurlow Weed's letter "Reminiscences of Catskill"
To the Editor of the Recorder and Democrat:
In your Recorder of the 24th inst., (which I received this morning) a writer who recalls and describes some of the early inhabitants of your Village, "remembers, as among the earliest Draymen of Catskill, the two JOE WEEDS, (Joel and Joseph) one of whom, I do not know which, was the progenitor of THURLOW WEED. Though in humble life, both were esteemed, I believe, as honest, industrious men."
Though a matter of no possible interest to any one but myself, allow me to say that JOEL WEED, the younger brother, was my father. They were "honest, industrious"cartmen, my uncle JOSEPH being the more prosperous. Indeed, he owned a house still standing, about half-way between "CHANDLER'S" and the Bridge; while we "moved" annually, at least renting apartments in the "Stone Jug," "Number Eight," (I can't remember why No. 8) Gullen's Barber Shop, &c., **88 My uncle JOSEPH had one son, GEORGE L. WEED, a very worthy man, and well known Christian Missionary.**** I had two brothers; one *(Orrin) died in New York in 1818, and the other (Osborn) in Tennessee in 1851. **My father died in Onondaga forty-six years ago; my mother in Tennessee, in 1846.
