MRS. JOHN LEECE BROT HERE FOR INTERMENT
Mrs. John Leece, a former old resident of Grayling passed away at Munith, Michigan, on Thursday Dec. 20th, and the remains were brought to Grayling Saturday for internment. They were first taken to Sorenson's chapel, where friends and sister members of the Eastern Star Chapter in a body gathered to pay their last respects to an old time friend and member.
Mrs. Leece was 83 years old and had been making her home with her son Harry in Detroit, but had gone to Munith recently to care for her sister, who was ill.
The sister passed away and Mrs. Leece passed away a week later, having contracted the same disease. The Leece family, who had lived here for years, were among Grayling's highly esteemed citizens. After Mr. Leece's death Mrs. Leece went to Detroit to reside with her son Harry, which was in 1919. Besides the son Harry, one daughter Mrs. Angie Ashenfelter of Midland survives. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Leece of Detroit and Mr. and Mrs. Bert Ashenfelter and their son, Leece of Midland accompanied the remains here.
