Newspaper Obituary - Tuesday August 7, 1917 Fulton Times - Fulton, New York - Death of Valmore Weed - Had Been Working in Hay Field The Day Before Summons Came - Pulaski, August 6 - Valmore Weed, 56, a former resident of this village, died suddenly at about four o'clock Saturday morning at the Weed farm two miles east of Lacona. He was working in the hay field nearly all day Friday and retired at his usual hour. A few minutes before four o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Weed heard her husband breathing heavily and groaning as if in intense pain. He expired before a physician could reach the farmhouse. Mr. Weed was a native of the town of Sandy Creek and for a long time had made his home in Port street, this village, moving to Sandy Creek about twelve years ago. He was the manufacturer of a patent remedy, and for many years traveled about the country disposing of his product. A number of years ago he inaugurated the Cal Weed picnic, an annual event that usually attracted a crowd of nearly five hundred people to the picnic grounds at Sandy Pond. He was making arrangements for the 1917 gathering, which was planned for Wednesday, August 15. It was omitted last season for the first time since the series was established, on account of several cases of poliomyelitis in the eastern section of Oswego County. Surviving, besides his widow, is daughter, Mrs. Frank Gurley of Pennsylvania, who has been spending some time in Pulaski with relatives. Funeral services will be held at the family home at 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
