This community was greatly sad
dened by the untimely death of Chas.
Leonard. He had been in fair health
as usual, and was engaged in the re-
pairs of the South church. He was
doing painting or papering, and it is
supposed a blood vessel broke in his
head from which cause death from
apoplexy resulted. He was conscious
for some hours, but continued to fail
till death resulted. He had been, we
believe, life long resident of this viii
lage and had many friends. He was
always genial, kind and neighborly.
He leaves wife in very poor health
to mourn his loss.
