Theodore Francis Leighty
Dies at Home South of Lawrenceville

    Theodore F. Leighty, 83, died at his home south of Lawrenceville yesterday 
January 26, following a long illness with cancer.
    Mr. Leighty was the son of Peter and Harriett Leighty and spent 
practically all his life in Dennison town.  He was well and favorably known 
all over the County.  He operated his farm in Dennison town until age and ill 
health caused him to turn the supervision over to others.
    He was married to Nancy Jane Gray who preceded him in death eighteen years 
ago.  He and Mrs. Leighty were active members of the Zion Episcopal Church at 
Zion.
    Mr. Leighty is survived by four children.  They are Mrs. Frank Bray and 
Mrs. Fern Kirkwood of Lawrenceville; Carson and Guy Leighty of Dennison Town.  
One brother Lewis Leighty also survives him.
    Funeral services will be held at the Zion Church Saturday at 2 P.M. with 
Rev. Batson of Bridgeport in charge.  Burial will be at Zion Cemetery.
