Bakersfield Californian, Monday, January 6, 1913 - Captain F. F. Weed, Maricopa Pioneer, Passes Away
Prominent Light in Oil Fields Dies After Two Weeks' Illness
Maricopa, Jan. 6 - Captain F. F. Weed died at the Maricopa Oil Company's lease near Maricopa at 6 o'clock Sunday morning after being confined to his home with an attack of heart trouble for the past two weeks. Captain Weed was one of the first oil operators to do any developing on the Maricopa flat. He had taken an interest in everything that had the development and good of his community at heart and was active in religious work up to the time of his demise. The early upbuilding of Maricopa was promoted by his capable co-operation and his name was connected with many enterprises of great value to this section of the oil fields. As early as 1900 he became interested in the oil industry in Kern County and organized the Maricopa Oil Company and served as that company's secretary and manager for many years. Under his supervision were drilled the first oil wells on the Maricopa flat. His company put down ten holes, all of which became producers. Their tract of forty acres was leased to Gate City Oil Company in 1909 and that same year they also sold off seventeen acres which was subdivided into Maricopa City lots and formed the townsite of the present city of that name. When the first National Bank was organized, he became a large stockholder and has since served as Vice President. Backbone Of Church To his efforts was largely due the organization of the First Congregational Church of Maricopa and at the time of his death he was serving as chairman of it's board of Trustees. That the church was one of the most helpful institutions promoted by the Captain is manifested by the part it has taken not only in the religious but also in the social life of the frontier town and it's influence has been on the side of a permanent moral uplift. Captain Weed was born in Illinois Oct. 28, 1839 and taken to Missouri at the age of 6 years. At the opening of the Civil War he offered his services to the confederacy. His name was enrolled as a private in the ninth Missouri Infantry under General Shelby and Gen. Richard Taylor. He was soon made a Corporal and later a Sergeant and finally was commissioned a captain of his company, a position which he held with efficiency and loyalty until the end of the conflict. Fought Many Battles Among the engagements he participated in were at Springfield, Missouri Aug. 10, (poss. 19) 1861, in 1862 in the several engagements at Corinth and at Lexington, Missouri with Gen. Taylor; in Louisiana in the battles of Mansfield for Sabine Crossing, and Pleasant Hill during the year 1863. After the close of the war, Capt. Weed engaged in business in St. Louis for one year and then settled upon a farm in Pike Co., MO where he engaged in agricultural pursuits until 1875. He then spent two years in Texas and a similar period in the Indian Territory. In 1883 he settled in Grenola, Kansas and later returned to Missouri and located in St. Joseph. In 1891 he came to California to act a s general agent for the Northwestern Life Insurance Company in San Francisco. He entered the oil business on the West Side in 1900.
