"Seneca Falls, Nov. 21 - By the will of the late Charles H. Weed the Sunday schools of this place receive annually the interest $10,000, to be divided equally among them. The will was opened and read on Monday. Aside from bequests made to his divorced wife, and brothers and sisters, the bulk of this property goes to the daughter, Mrs. Hattie Yawger."

"Death of Charles H. Weed - Singular Fatality Attending a Suit for Divorce - Seneca Falls, Nov. 15 — At 12 P. M. today Charles H. Weed, a well-known member of the Seneca County Courier, breathed his last after an illness of about four weeks duration, in his 58th year. Mr. Weed was an able advocate and for many years had a very extensive practice here. He was a man of exemplary habits and very successful In accumulating wealth, leaving a small fortune to be divided among his heirs. He was related by marriage to the Yawger family of Union Springs, Cayuga County. The divorce case of Weed vs. Weed in which Mrs. Anna Weed was plaintiff, John T. Pingree of Auburn, and S. T. Miller of Seneca Falls being her attorneys Surrogate Davie the referee, Charles A. Hawley attorney for Mr. Weed, and which has been appealed now terminates, the rights of the plaintiff being at once determined by Mr. Weed's decease. A somewhat worthy fact in connection with the case is that Mr. Pingree, Referee Davie, and the defendant, Mr. Weed, have died since the judgment of the referee was rendered. By this judgment, the plaintiff, Mrs. Weed, was awarded $1,250 a year and costs which amount of alimony ceases on the death of the defendant. The deceased leaves one daughter, Mrs. Hattie Yawger, one brother, and two sisters to mourn his loss." (Nov. 22, 1883, The Auburn Weekly News and Democrat, NY)
