 IN MEMORIAM
 ELDER BROTHER AMOS LEEDY
  Elder Amos Leedy, an aged minister passing on to his reward was born in Ohio, June 6, 1850 and died at his home near Leedy, Oklahoma, October 21, 1932 at the age of 82 years, 4 months and 15 days. He was married to Sarah Hunter in 1871. To this union, ten children were born, two dying in infancy. He is survived by his wife, eight children, thirty-eight grandchildren and eight great randchildren.
  He and his wife united with the Church of the Brethren in 1887. He was called to the ministry in 1888. He labored in that office in Illinois until after his wife's death in 1895.
  In 1898 he went to Oklahoma and filed on a claim in Dewey County in 1899, which was his home until he passed away. The town site of Leedey was staked near his place and for a number of years he was postmaster and storekeeper in the little town, which today bears his name, because of what the life of this pioneer was and the service he rendered to his fellowman. He led an exemplary life and was considered a devout Christian by all who knew him. He was the first minister there and organized the first Sunday School. He often superintended two Sunday Schools and preached two sermons in one day, walking 10 to 12 miles to do so.
  On Oct. 29,1903, he was married to Susan B. Brower. In 1906 they moved to St. Joseph, Missouri, where he labored in the ministry nearly five years, then his health gave way and they moved back to their farm in Oklahoma.
  Around 1926, the Dunkard Brethren Church was organized at Elk City, Oklahoma and at that time Bro. Amos was chosen and ordained as their Elder. Having poor health, he was not asked to do much work. In 1930 he was in the hospital for 4 ½ mos. undergoing two operations and was a
 great sufferer at times, but bore it all with Christian patience.
  Funeral services were held in the town of Leedy by Albert L. Williams, assisted by W. B. Gish, both of Thomas, Oklahoma. The body was then expressed to LaPlace, Illinois where the funeral services were held again and he was laid to rest in the cemetery beside his first companion.
  Sister Susan B. (Brower) Leedy requests an interest in the prayers of
 all the faithful ones, she being left alone.
