A Memorial Tribute to the Late Mrs. Jacob T. Leach
The death of Mrs. J.T. Leach, nee Miss Sarah Isabel Adams, occurred at 7:30 o'clock April 17, 1907, at her home five miles northwest of Franklin, Johnson county, Indiana. By no means was her death so soon expected by her family or friends, although she had been troubled with her heart for seven years. because of the already broken home circle her sudden departure was especially sad and seemed almost more than husband and children could bear.
Mrs. Leach was born in Jackson township, Morgan county, Indiana, August 22, 1854, and spent her entire life in this state except twelve years spent in Macon and DeWitt counties, Illinois. There death visited the family. Six of the children had typhoid pneumonia, four of who died within eight weeks. With a mother's love Mrs. Leach never faltered but with willing hands and sadness of heart was beside the sick beds day and night. Ever after this trying experience her health was broken but she never complained, being always ready to do her full duty in family and friends.
She was wedded to Jacob T. Leach September 22, 1872 and to this bridal union were born ten children, named as follows: John H., Joseph B., Wm. R., Nannie B., Robert T., Ira G., Clara E., Leta, Glossie T., Homer J. Six of these preceded her in death, namely: John H., Joseph B., William R., Robert T., Clara and Leta.
At the protracted meetings in the early winter of 1894, both she and her husband united at the same time with the christian church at Maroa, Illinois. She ever afterward proved true to her christian faith and brought her letter with her when the family moved from Illinois and placed her membership with the Bargersville Christian church.
She was not demonstrative in the profession of her faith, but firm in her belief, modestly clinging to the teachings of the gospel, with due reserve but always reaching out for the good things of life and nobly striving to shun the evil things of the world, a thing in which she succeeded most admirably. She was commended and praised for her steadfastness and earnest purposes. She was loved not only by her most intimate friends but by all who fully knew her because of her many excellent qualities. In promises she was true, in works diligent, in favors most lavish. Doing good and pleasing those about her ever seemed her aim. When the curtains of night fell about her she apparently lay down to perfect, dreamless slumber.
Few thoughts of the day e'er disturbed her;
The morrow had little of dread;
She worked for the living and blessed them;
And sweet muses had for the dead.
The following pretty tribute is only one of many nice things that have been said of her: "Mrs. Leach was not only a devoted mother, but a genial, large hearted woman whose influence for good was widely spread and her death has brought a cloud of sadness to a large circle of friends. Hearts go out in sincere sympathy to the family and relatives."
Besides the family left behind to mourn their seemingly unkind bereavement, four brothers and three sisters still survive. A father and mother and three half brothers preceded her in death.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev.M.V. Grisso, formerly pastor of Bargersville Christian church, at the residence at 9:30 a.m. Saturday following her demise. The burial took place at Bethlehem cemetery near Morgantown at two o'clock. A large and sympathetic assemblage was in attendance to give aid and sympathy in the last sad rites. Thus ended the career of one who now rests in peace; one of known integrity, of high moral standing, whose life and devotion has been a model of perfection to the living and one after whom none need ever be ashamed of unwilling to pattern.
