Mrs. Victorine
Hammett Weakley, widow of Judge Leonard A. Weakley, died at her home
at Eighth and Washington streets Monday morning at 10:30 o’clock.

seemed on the road to recovery when the fatal summons came.

was teaching school in this county when she married Judge Weakley in
1875. A consistent Christian woman, Mrs. Weakley was a loyal member

children, one son, Calvin S. Weakley, of Covington, and five
daughters, Mrs. W. E. Gwatkin, of Mason, Mo.; Mrs. Robert D.
Hawkins, of Lexington; Miss Rena Weakley, Mrs. F. E. Ballard and
Miss Victorine Weakley, of this city. She also leaves two sisters,
Mrs. W. L. Brown, of Louisville, and Mrs. J. B. Miller, of Little
Rock, Ark., and two brothers, Eugene Hammett, of New Jersey, and
