LEACH, Mrs. Losetta

Ionia Standard, Friday, 12 February 1886

Died at her home and residence of Theodore Leach, in the township of Orleans, in her 76th year, Mrs. Losetta Leach, wife of James Leach, who died at the same place some thirteen years ago. Deceased was born in Connecticut, removing from there with her parents to Hudson, Summit County, Ohio, where she was united in marriage to James Leach July 16th, 1829, being among the first settlers of that county. They underwent all the hardships of a pioneer life, and remained in that county until 1868, when they removed to Ionia county. She was the mother of eleven children, six of whom survive her, and feel they have sustained a great loss. She died an exemplary Christian, having united with the M. E. church in early life; was a woman of much strength of character, simple in her tastes and habits, a devoted wife and mother.

Dearest mother, though left us under the saddest of circumstances, mental affliction hath deprived you for many months from being able to know those who loved you most. Diphtheria having visited your home, just at the close of life, hath deprived your children of that last and only pleasure of surrounding your bedside that they might lend their last and timely assistance, none were there save those whose kindest cares were lent to thee.

Calm as summer’s mildest zephyrs
Came thy quiet sleep,
And it bowed our hears in sorrow,
Silent tears to weep;
But we knew an angel message
Bade they spirit go,
Leaving all they soul held dearest,
In the world below.

LEACH, Vern

The Belding Banner, Thursday, 30 October 1947

Headline: Grim Reaper Calls Service Station Owner

Vern Leach, well known and popular service station owner who had his place of business at the east city limits and M-44, passed away at a Grand Rapids hospital at about 5:45 Sunday morning, following a long period of ill health and a major operation performed some time ago. He had recovered from the ordeal apparently and was preparing to return to his home here, when he suddenly took a turn for the worse on Saturday afternoon and passed away Sunday morning.

Mr. Leach was 65 years of age and was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Leach. He was a native of Otisco township and for some years was engaged in farming. Later on, for a number of years he was engaged in the draying and cartage business in this city. About six years ago he took over the service station which he owned at the time of his death and he had, through cordial friendship and honest dealings and a good service, built up an enviable business. He has a legion of friends who will be pained to learn of his death.

Surviving are a son, Marvin, living near Moseley, and two brothers, Frank, a retired railroad man, formerly of Grand Rapids and now living in Florida, and Ernest Leach of Kalamazoo.

The body was brought to this city and prepared for burial at the Fitzjohn Funeral Home where funeral services will be held this Thursday afternoon at 2:30, with Rev. Halley B. Oliver, pastor of the Congregational church, officiating, and burial will be in River Ridge cemetery.

LEACH, William E.

The Belding Banner, Wednesday, 21 May 1919

Headline: Man’s Skull is Fractured When Pump Pipe Slips

An accident which happened Tuesday morning at about ten o’clock on the farm owned by Fred Boyer a mile east of the city caused the death of William E. Leach, age 60 years, a retired Orleans township farmer, at the city hospital at 7 o’clock this morning, nearly 22 hours after the time he received his injury during which time he never regained consciousness.

Mr. Leach, together with Fred Boyer, repairman at Smith & Whitney shoe store, owner of the farm and Mertin Smith, had driven out to the farm for the purpose of raising a pump in a well which had been bothering of late and had the work well under way and was laughing and joking with Mr. Smith about falling in the well head first when the accident took place. Mr. Boyer was working on one side of the well, using a piece of iron pipe for a prying lever with a chain attached to the end and Mr. Leach was working on the opposite side with a similar device. Mr. Boyer would raise the pipe up while Mr. Leach was getting his lever and chain set for a new hold and in this way had the pipe raised a distance of several feet. Neither one of the men who were with him seem to know just how the accident occurred but it must be that Mr. Boyer’s chain slipped and allowed the pipe to go down with full force until the chain on the end of Mr. Leach’s lever struck a joint in the pipe. This would be the only conceivable way in which the lever could be swung upward with sufficient force to inflict the injury which it did. When the lever flew upward it went right on over and brushed Mr. Boyer’s hat off and scraped the side of his face.

The men gave immediate attention to Mr. Leach and Dr. Stanton was on the scene not more than ten minutes later and the injured man was taken to the local hospital where Drs. Bower, of Greenville and Dr. R. R. Smith, of Grand Rapids attended him. No hopes were held out for him from the first as the blow had been of such force that the entire side of his face had been crushed and the skull fractured so that there was no hopes of his recovering.

Mr. Leach had taken the place of another man who had planned on going out and helping on the job but who later on decided to go to Grand Rapids. It was in his usual light hearted way that he jokingly went to lend a helping hand. He died just as he had lived—a good fellow thru and thru and with his passing his legion of friends will mourn the loss of a good and honest man—a friend in need and a friend all the time.

Mr. Leach for many years was engaged in farming south and east of the city, but about six weeks ago sold his farm and took up his residence as a retired farmer, and to take things easy for a few years, in a house where he himself and wife were comfortably settled at the corner of Bridge and Washington streets. Tuesday morning he left home to go down town and Mrs. Leach knew nothing of his injury until appraised that he was at the hospital.

He is survived by his widow and three sons, Ernest, of the Brink neighborhood; Vern, of Smyrna and Frank of Grand Rapids.

Funeral at the Baptist church, Friday afternoon at two o’clock, Rev. W. A. Biss officiating and burial will be made in River ridge cemetery.
