The remains of the late Colonel James
T. Leath. who died in New York City, September
18th, brought to the city last eVeBing, and his
funeral will take place from his late residence, 204
Third street, this morning at eleven O'Clock. This
announcement will reopen the mourning which was
felt III this city on The seventeenth of September,
when his death was fTst announced. When We
babe him farewell in August we little thought We
should meyer see him again, and that so soon would
death chill his noble form. This good man has
passed away and many hearts are torn With anguish,
and no one will be more sadly missed than he. Al
though he was fast approxlmaing the age which the
Psalmlst allots to man, his magnificent prysique
and general health gave encouragement to his
friends that many Yeas Of usefulness were in store
for him. The love and friendship existing between
him and Joseph Lenow the venerable president of
RlmwOod cemetery, was as remarkable as though
they WeTe twin bfOti eTS. We hear that Captain
LenOW is still confined TO dis house with severe
attack of rheumatism, and perhaps will be unable
to attend he funeral OF his dear friend to-day, but
that he has ordered bOtn entrances to the cemetery
TO be Uraped In mourning mark of his respect
for his great services as trust 9. So long as our
city school system stands it will ever be mOnu
ment to Colonel James L. Leath. Peace TO his
ashes.
