continued to grow rapidly worse until the
end came. Mr.. Leach was the oldest son of
Joseph and Jerusha Allen Leach and was
born in the town of Rockingham near Sax
tons River little more than 81 years ago.
Early in the Cos he purchased and moved up
on the farm where he has since resided. BY
his energy aud thrift he accumulated COM
petence and without doubt has been the
largest owner of real estate in the town. He
is survived by four children, his wife having
died last summer, one daughter and three
sons all of whom reside in town, Emma E,
wife of A. E. Brigham, Walter p, Herbert
w. and John Z. He is also survived by two
brothers and three sisters, Rev. Allen Leach
and Mrs. Lydia Sabin of Ssxtous River, Mrs.
