| Text | William Anthony Leighty, son of W. D. and M. E. Leighty, of Jasper, Mo., was born in Shelby County, Ill., Sept. 11, 1888 and departed this life Feb. 25, 1915, aged 26 years, 5 months and 8 days. He left a father, mother, two sisters and other relatives to look forward to a happy meeting in the sweet by and by. Five years ago he left the parental home, going first to Kansas then to North Dakota where he spent the summer working on a farm. In October 1910, he went to Sask, Canada, where he secured a home for himself. He came Jan. 14, 1915, for a visit with parents and sisters, the first visit since leaving home. He did not think but what he would return to his home in Canada, but God in His infinite love called him to a brighter and better home, where sorrow and parting never come. Funeral services were held at Jasper, Saturday, conducted by Rev. E. W. Love of Cassville. |
