LEROY BLESSING, Honolulu Auto Club Executive. The remarkable growth of the 
Honolulu Automobile Club in recent years is attributed in part to the work of 
LeRoy Blessing, former journalist, who has been its manager since December, 
1920. A service department second to none in the United States has been 
developed by the club under Mr. Blessing’s direction.
  Born in Bellefontaine, O., Oct. 14, 1876, Mr. Blessing is the son of Frank 
W. and Anna (Slicer) Blessing. He received his education in the public schools 
of Ohio, and upon being graduated from high school joined the staff of the 
Bellefontaine “Index-Republican” as a reporter. Rising rapidly, he held 
executive offices in the newspaper organization and in 1906 succeeded General 
Robert P. Kennedy as editor. Before coming to Hawaii Mr. Blessing sold his 
interest in the paper and retired from editorial work.
  He married Leigha JoHantgen, Oct. 14, 1902. He is a Mason, Shriner, and a 
member of the Y.M.C.A. and Central Union Church.
