Thomas LEFFEL was buried yesterday
(Feb. 26) afternoon at Springville cemetery. He died on the night of the 24th of typhoid
fever, after an illness of about 15 days. The death of this kind and gentlemanly one is
particularly sad and pathetic. His wife, who was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel WINGO,
had been sick of fever at her father's house for sometime, and was getting well, when
about two weeks ago, Tom was taken sick and went home to his house, about a quarter of a
mile away, and grew rapidly worse. His father's family, Mr. Louis LEFFEL, of Clear
Fork, or some of them, were in constant attendance with a trained nurse and physician, but
the wife and little child, three years old, could not see the husband and father until he
passed beyond. How sad the circumstances. Mr. LEFFEL was an industrious, good man,
and was only 23 years old, had built a nice home recently, and so soon to be taken away
from all that is binding here. May the recollection of a Christian life lighten the
sorrows of those afflicted by the calamity.
Thomas E. LEFFEL, aged 23 years, died at his
home near Springville last Monday night. The burial took place at Springville. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Mr. WRIGHT, pastor of the Christian Church in Bluefield.
Deceased leaves a wife and one child. Thomas E. LEFFEL was a son of Mr. and Mrs. L.E.
LEFFLE, of Shawver's Mills, and brother to Mrs. Grat M. MULLIN, of this town, W.T.
LEFFEL, Boissevain; Miss Bessie LEFFEL, Robert and Claude, the three later still at home. His wife
was Miss Macie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S.H. WINGO, of Springville. He was a fine young
man with bright prospects for a long and happy life. His untimely death is deeply mourned.
He died of typhoid fever after and illness of about 2 weeks.
