 The death of William Leonard, which occurred on Wednesday, April 30, | though long expected, Is none the less sad and has cast shadow over the whole community where he was so we'll 1 known. His sickness has been long continued and painful, yet he bore his | sufferings with fortitude-was ever pa tient and cheerful and at the last talked 1 calmly of death as going home to rest. | MT Leonard has been in the employ of 1 the Housatonic railroad for several years was at one time brakeman on | a passenger train. Last September he married Miss Willard of Kent and set- tied at Lenox, Mass, where he held the position of station agent, which he re- tained till about December 1, when his health failing, he came to his fathers home, never to leave 1t again. The heartfelt sympathy of many near friends are with the afflicted wife, who, while yet bride, is left widow and with 1 the parents and brothers who little more than year ago buried their loved Alice, now mourn the loss of another dear one. 1 Out side the family circle also, will his loss be felt, for he was young man of excellent qualities and by his kindness of heart and pleasant, social nature, W on friends wherever he went. The funeral was largely attended at the Congrega- tional church on Friday at l 80 P. NJ. Rev F.. $. Porter conducted the opening services. Rev J. H. Vorce of Essex, former pastor here, then addressed the friends in most fitting words. He said that this solemn occasion brought forci- bly, to mind how only one short year ago he had stood in this same place speaking words of sympathy and conso- lation to this same family-he felt as- sured that the sister and brother had now met together in Heaven-that those left behind should look beyond their grief and loss and be happy in the thought that their dear ones are at rest. Rev Porter made few brief, but most excellent remarks. The casket, covered with profusion of flowers, was then bourne by Conductor Lane, Baggage Master Arnold, William Spencer and three other gentlemen to the last rest ing place.
