wiLLiAn LEET.

William Leet, proprietor Of the Com
mercial Bank of this city, died at his
home in Aurora, Illinois, on the 9th inst
of paralysis after an illness Of about
eight weeks.
He was born in Chester, Connecticut
on the Goth day of October, 1897, and
was in his Goth year at the time OF his
death.
In early boyhood he came to Peoris
county, Illinois, with family by the
name of Jones, with whom he lived fol
about six years, engaged mostly in farm
labor. BY the reason of ill-health, al
about the age of 20, hereturned to his
native place, but only remained there a
year when he again came to Illinois and
soon after settled in Milo township
Bureau county, where he began labor
upon farm at $40 per month. Even
with these low wages he soon had saw
ings with which he bought and improv-
ed an eighty of land which proved to be
the beginning OF a substantial fortune.
In 1872 he removed from his farm to
Bradford, Illinois, where he engaged in
the buying and shipping OF grain.
In 1875 he became the proprietor of
the Bradford Exchange Bank, which
business he continually owned and con-
Quoted until his death.
In 1887, in connection with w. H.
Negley, he organized the Commercial
Bank of this city, soon after erecting the
substantial building where the business
is now conducted. Three years later
Mr.. NeGley retired, Mr.. Leet becoming
the sole owner, his son, Frank NJ. Leet
having the immediate supervision Of
the business.
In 1890 Mr.. Leet removed to Aurora,
which place has since been his home.
On the Goth Of August 1854 he was
united in marriage to Miss Helen Spear,
who still survives. To them we're born
eight children, five OF whom, two sons
and three daughters are still living.
Mr.. Leet was lineal descendant of
William Leete, who came to America
from England in 1859, arriving in New
Haven july 10th of that year. He was
prominent in public affairs and in 1861
was elected governor Of New Haven
Colony which Office he held until the
union OF that colony with the Colony of
Connecticut. After the union he held
many offices of trust and 1916 was
chosen governor of Connecticut Colony,
which position he held by continuous
reflections, until his death in 1858.
The subject of this sketch has been
active, energetic and successful in all
his business enterprises and as the re-
suit of his laoors aud keen judgment has
has amassed fortune Of no mean pro-
portions.
The funeral was held from his late
residence in Aurora on the 10th inst.
and his remains were laid to rest in
Spring Lake Cemetery in that city.
