Thomas E. Leffel, son of Mr. and Mrs. L.E.
Leffel, born August 12, 1884, married to Miss Macy Wingo, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S.H.
Wingo, November 11, 1903, all of Tazewell County, united with the Christian church and was
baptized by Isaac Wright, of Bluefield, WV., May the 16, 1906, fell asleep in Jesus Feb.
25, 1908, aged 28 years. Besides a large circle of relatives and friends he leaves a wife
and son of tender years, to face the realities of life without his loving care. But in his
early manhood he embraced the Savior, and in his Savior's care he leaves these he loved. A
Christian gentleman has fallen with his sword unsheathed, his face to the enemy, his hands
reaching toward his Captain, and his conquered his last enemy, and now sings the song of
redemption, shouts in the triumphs of a living faith, and rejoices in the city of the New
Jerusalem, looking on the face of Jesus in whose strength he conquered.
