In Nov. 1856, the towns of Levis and
Weston were created, they being the second and third towns of the county,
respectively. Levis was named for Mahlon Levis and Weston was named for Samuel
F. Weston, each a prominent man in his town.

April 17, 1875: Union Free High School – a
proposition the Town of Weston should not turn down. On the 19th of April they
will vote for or against this school. By all means vote for it! You can educate
your children at home and not worry about their being out nights in the city.
The town will save over $1,000 every year in high school tuition. The state pays
about $1,600 to this school every year, and the state pays a certain percent for
its construction. It will not raise your taxes over $2 on 40 acres. Clark Co.

October 1894, a noble deer, with large and
beautiful antlers, was shot in West Weston, Will Klopf shot at him three times,
Doc. Pitcher four times and Chas. Servaty twice. Although Doc’s bullet did the
deed, Klopf got the head and horns, which he had mounted by John Lambert of
Taylor. It arrived the other day, looks lifelike and is a beautiful ornament.

June 1899: Rudolph Spranger, of the Town of Weston, last Friday contributed 25
large shining dollars toward paying the salary of a game warden in this
district. The donation was made at the suggestion of Justice of the Peace
MacBride, who deemed that a sufficient penalty be ensued for the unlawful use of
a dip net in a neighboring trout stream. Violators of the Fish and Game laws
are being rounded up all over the state.
1920
April 15, 1920: Wm. Hurlburt and Dan
Turville, of East Weston, are two of about the sweetest men in these parts now,
having been in the sugar business for the last two weeks. They both keep their
mustaches shaved off while handling so much syrup and we never knew before the
handsome men they were.
Willis Armitage and wife were the first to venture out on the roads with a car
from the Town of Weston this spring. We don’t know how far they went, but they
were still moving when they went past Panther Creek.
