In talking with Alzina Strome (cousin to Sonya's grandfather Austin Weeks), it seems Sonya was out partying Sat. night and the drug Ecstasy was found in her, presumably from a drink she had. Earlier newspaper reports state the drug was purchased that night from the bar, but the batch was found to be 'bad'. Unknown by her parents, Larry and Marianne had left Castor early June 15 to drive to Red Deer to spend Fathers Day with Sonya. RCMP detachment at Coronation called to the home farm and informed sister Sherie of the news who was home alone. She was able to contact her parents enroute to Red Deer. Large attendance at the funeral today; mostly young people. Sonya had graduated last year and had been working in Red Deer, in the caring profession of looking after disabled people in their homes. She was well liked, had a host of friends who all attended her funeral in Castor. Former Castor resident dies of drug overdose: Source Red Deer Advocate newspaper, Thurs June 26, 2003 by Stephen Raivio, Staff reporter The community was rocked last week when news hit that a former resident had died of a drug overdose in Red Deer. Sonya Weeks passed away on Father's Day, June 15 in Red Deer. She was only 19 years old. Weeks apparently became ill after taking two ecstasy pills at the Euphoria dance club in downtown Red Deer on Saturday night, June 14. She went home at about 6 a.m. and friends called paramedics at 10:15 a.m. when they noticed she had stopped breathing. Weeks' funeral was held Friday at the Castor Evangelical Missionary Church, with Vern Hein officiating. Sonya's parents, Larry and Marianne Weeks of Castor, said their daughter's death hammers home how dangerous drugs can be. "I don't think she was into drugs much. She just tried it a few times," said Larry on Wednesday. He said Sonya worked full time at the Life seniors home in Red Deer, and was a creative person who had poetry published in one of the Red Deer newspapers. Larry said other youths need to be aware of how dangerous drugs are. "They don't think it can happen to them. They take that crap and it doesn't affect them, but it could the next time," he said. "We'd just like people to see what drugs can do to you. Sonya just dabbled in it, and look what it did to her." He also said the poeple who deal the drugs, especially when they result in a death, should be dealt with harshly. "They should be charged with manslaughter, I think," he said. Larry thanked the community for its support during this very difficult time. "We got a lot of nice cards from the teachers at the schools, and they had a lot of nice comments," he said. Greg Muhlbeier, a teacher at the Gus Wetter school who taught Weeks said her death has been a huge shock. "It impacted some kids (At the school) but she had been gone (from Castor) for a while," said Muhlbeier on Wednesday. "I was at the funeral and there were quite a few kids there. It was a shock and I think it sent a message. "It was a horrible shock. Twenty years I've been teaching and this is the first student I've lost," he said. "She was a really nice kid, very well mannered and a very nice heart." Sonya Weeks worked full time in Red Deer as a caregiver for the disabled. Those who knew her said she will be remembered as a happy and caring friend. According to one of her friends in Red Deer, she was not a regular drug user. She moved from Castor to Red Deer about a year ago. Ecstasy has been found to contain potentially lethal cocktails of other drugs. Ecstasy pills are commonly laced with other drugs such as LSD and even strychnine, or rat poison. Ecstasy is also taken with other drugs, such as alcohol, crystal methamphetamine, crack cocaine or other combinations. Muhlbeier said "It's not just a big city problem. It can happen anywhere, and this proves that." He also pointed out that the drug dealers don't care about the well-being of their customers, only about making a profit. If friends of Weeks would like to make memorial tributes, they may be made in Sonya's memory to the Alberta Cancer Foundation or to the Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission. | Weeks, Sonya Candace (I1905)

| 2450 | On the 8th of June 1796, Amos Weeks filed an Upper Canada Land Petition requesting a grant of 200 acres of land. On 8 Oct 1796, the Executive Council gave him a grant of 200 acres on Lot 9, concession 8, Walpole Twp., Haldimand Cty. An attached certificate from Robert Kerr, JP dated 29 Mar 1796 stated that Amos was 22 years of age, born at Westchester, NY, farmer. Amos settled at Charlotteville Twp., Norfolk Co. He served as Petty Juror on the London District Court on 9 Mar 1803, 14 Mar 1804, 15 Mar 1804. On 30 April 1806, Amos purchased from William Rice 100 acres in the north half of Lot 6, Conc. 2, Charlotteville Twp. This is located directly North of the present village of Forestville. In the 1808 Assessment of Charlotteville Twp, his property was valued at under L100 and he was taxed 6 days of work on the roads. in 1809, he had 85 acres uncultivated and 15 acres cultivated, a house of round logs, 2 oxen, 2 milch cows, all valued at L53. In 1810, he was taxed 6 days of road work. On 28 May 1811, Amos purchased from Pelham Mabee 50 acres in the South part of Lot 9, Conc A, Charlotteville Twp. This is located SE of Forestville behind Turkey Point on Long Point Bay. In the 1811 Assessment he had 240 acres unculitvated and10 acres cultivated, 1 horse, 2 oxen, 1 milch cow. A certificate dated 6 Dec. 1826 signed by Duncan McCall and appended to Amos' earlier land petition stated that he had retained his loyalty during the War of 1812 and did his duty in defence of the Province. In the 1815 Assessment, his property was valued at L56.16 and his tax was 6 days of road work.

Patent Fee and Survey Fee was paid. ** May 31, 1828: Amos Weeks left his residence near Turkey Point, Lake Erie, on the 16th inst. with the intention of assisting his son, who was removing from Canborough, and embarked in a skiff with Mr. Fight of Rainbane (sic) and a man named Crawford, a pensioner. When they had proceded a few miles below Pattersons's Creek, the boat upset, and Mr. Weeks was drowned, although the other two reached shore. As of the 20th his body had not been found. He had resided in the Long Point Settlement upwards of 30 years. Source: Ontario Registry, Edited and Published by Thomas B.

My research is stymied here as I still do not have a Wife's name or any vital stats pertaining to Mrs. Amos Weeks. I have no idea when, how Amos Weeks and or his family came to Upper Canada. I have checked the Loyalists records quite extensively and found no records of Amos or his family fighting during the war of 1812. Only comfirmed children I have are: Daniel Millar Weeks, Joseph Weeks, Amos Weeks. Rumours abound that there is a Peter Weeks, Cyrus or Silas Weeks that moved to US - New York & Michigan | Weeks, Amos Sr. (I142)
