   Mr. Leonard Bishop, a brother of Mr. Thomas L. Bishop, of this city and a
prominent citizen of Clarkston, died Monday afternoon about 6 o'clock. He had
lived in Clarkston for some time and had come to this city to receive medical

   He had been growing steadilty worse for some time and when death arrived it
was not unexpected. He is survived by his wife and four daughters, all of whom

daughters Ellie, Bessie, Vivian and Stella May, as seen in 1900 DeKalb County
