LEANDER J. MCCORMICK DEAD.

Leander y. McCCfmlscK, mtmDel
Of the famous harvester machinery firm
died of pneumonia ct the Virginia
Hotel. Chicago, Tuesday, Feb ruary ~
Leauder j Mccormick VS. bovn at
Ste Is Tavern, Rockbrid 20 co iniy, Va,
in 1919, and was the son OF Robert
Mccormick. the inventor Of the reaper.
He inherited from his father, who
was an inventor of rare ability, love
FOR mechanics and as early as 1916 had
a one-third interest in the rs reapin
machines tina were built lid sold by
the elder Mccormick. In 1S47 Leander
Nc Cormick went to Cincinnati and
there engaged with his brother, the
late Cyrus Fl. Mccormick; in the con-
struction of 100 machines. Removing
in the following year to Chicago, ne
and his brother laid in 1649 the funda-
dation of the great industry which is
now conducted by the Mccormick
Harvesting Machine Company.
The fire of 1871, however, destroyed
Ill their patterns, apparatus and stock.
At the same time Leander McCor-
! mick's handsome residence at Rush
and OHIO streets, on the present site
Of the Virginia Hotel, was burned.
The brothers rebuilt their plants and
incorporated in 1879 under the name
Of the Mccormick Harvesting Machine
Company.
Leander took entire charge of the
ma ufacturing department Of the
business and continued IN that position
down to the year 1879, when the con-
cern was Incorporated under its presen
name. Ten years later he retired flom
active business.
ALr. Mccormick was an inventor
second only in rank to his father, and
during his long connection with the
manufacture of the reaper made many
valuable improvement in the machine.
Among these were the seat or stamp on
ich man could ride and rake the
gra II fir I'm the platform to the ground;
the application of long arm over the
divider as a substitute for the post
that originally supported the reel and
obstructcd the free passage Ct leaning
grain, and finally, the location Of a
seat for the driver, who had originally
ridden one of the horses. His wife
whom he married in 1916, was Miss
Henrietta Hamilton, daughter OF John
Hamilton, of near Wesley Chapel, this
county. Mrs. Mccormick died few
months ego.
Air, Mccormick was 81 years old,
but, though, enfeeblsd by advanced
age, and alling since the death Of his
wife last Novem Der, he was not thought
TO be in q critical condition.
robert Hall Mccormick and Lean
der Hamilton Mccormick, his two sur
wing sons, We're at his bedside at the
time of his de 9TH. His only daughter,
Mrs. F. e. Goodneart, is absent in
England.
Among Mr.. McCorniSk's large pro-
perties, which will aggregate about
$5,OO0,OO0, were tue following Chicago
buil ings: Virginia Hotel, Victoria
Ho el, Atlas block, Roanoke building,
