Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men of Mark in Connecticut, Vol. 5: Ideals of American Life Told in Biographies and Autobiographies of Eminent Living Americans Ried by a test that rarely comes to men - and never came to T but one other man in Connecticut Frank Bentley Weeks of Middletown has proved true to his lineage and his name. Called from business affairs to a high public station, that of lieutenant governor, he was performing his duties quietly and was winning new meed of respect from his fellowmen when the stern decree of fate placed him in the chief office of the State - in the chair of the executive himself. The people turned to him in their grief Over the death of Governor Lilley and, though the standard established was of the highest, they were not to be disappointed. We know that rarely does the life of such a man begin with his own. For its true inception we look back to his ancestry. And it is to the records we must turn, since Mr. Weeks is one of those unboastful men who wish to let their name rest on what they have done or not done themselves. Such men in their hearts may have an ancestry to be proud of but they never are known to rely upon it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
