BRO. HENRY PAGE WEEDEN To grow to manhood in the nineteenth century and to mature in the twentieth and to live by the highest principles in these growing periods r e quires perception, youthfulness of spirit, integrity, and determination. The late Dr. Henry Page Weeden possessed these characteristics in full measure. He was born in Hampton, Virginia, the only son and oldest of the five children of the late Mary E. and the Reverend Henry Page Weeden. He enjoyed fond memories and lasting friendships from a happy boyhood in H a m p ton and Charlottesville, Virginia. He was justifiably proud of his scholastic achievements. In order to complete his undergraduate work at H a m p ton Institute and earn his professional degree at Howard University he had to work to sustain himself and pay his fees. No honorable job was too lowly. He began by shining shoes and he worked in hotels. He became familiar with the watering places of the eastern sea-board and the Bahama Islands. He thus realized his ambition to become a dentist and he remained a first-class one up to the day he died. Bro. Weeden practiced dentistry in Lynchburg, Virginia for over fifty years. He was loved and respected by his patients who waited for him at his office until his final illness. Tributes from the Lynchburg Dental Society and the Old Dominion Dental Society attest to their esteem of his proficiency in his profession. He was a member of the Old Dominion Dental Society and a charter member of Chi Delta Mu. Bro. Weeden was a leader in cultural and civic affairs. He took an interest in all activities promoting music and fine arts. He was at one time Chairman of the Board of Hunton Branch Y. M. C. A. He was a member of the Bi-racial Committee which was established to work for harmonious p r o gression toward first-class citizenship for all in the community. He was an active member of the Revelers Club and the Hampton Club. For more than forty years he was an active and keenly interested participant in all of the projects of his fraternity - Alpha Phi Alpha.
