Obituary of Leonard W. Veach

2 August 1922, Clark County Democrat, Clark Co, IL
 

Leonard W, son of Arthur and Lillie Veach, was born Dec. 27, 1905, and
departed this life July 24, 1922, aged 16 years, six months and 27
days.

He met his death by coming in contact with a live wire.  He was a
juvenile member of Clover Leaf Camp No. 8639, Royal Neighbors of
America.

He leaves to mourn his departure a loving mother, two sisters, Mrs.
hattie Hurst and Mrs. Vada Shaffner, Three brothers, Hurley, Obe, and
Otto Veach, an aged grandmother, Mrs. A. Murphy, a step father, three
step-sisters, two step-brothers and a number of other relatives and
friends.

He was the youngest child of a family of eight children; one sister,
Julia, aged 5 and an infant brother, and also the father, preceded him
to the Great Beyond.  He was an honest and affectionate son and
brother and during his short life made a host of friends in his
community and will be sadly missed by all.

Tis hard to break the tender chord, When love has bound the heart--
Tis hard, so hard to speak the words "We must forever part."
Dearest loved one, we must lay thee in the peaceful grave's embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished, til we see thy heavenly face.
 
The funeral services were conducted at Green Moss church by Rev.
O'Neal after which the memains were laid to rest in the cemetery near
by.  "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.  Blest be the name of
the Lord."
