PETER LEISURE FUNERAL
Funeral services for Peter Leisure, 1825 North Bell street, will be held at 10 
o'clock Thursday morning at the Ellers chapel, followed by burial in the 
Puckett cemetery.  Friends may call at the funeral home after noon Wednesday.

Peter Leisure, 58, 1825 North Bell street, died of a self-inflicted gunshot 
wound about 10 o'clock Monday night at the St Joseph hospital.  Leisure 
fatally wounded himself while his family was away from home and left a note 
indicating that despondency over ill health was the reason. He was found on 
the floor where he had arranged a blanket and pillows. Two shots from a 22
rifle had been fired. One grazed his head and the other shot entered his 
temple.  Members of the family returned home shortly before 9 o'clock and 
found him. First aid was called and he was removed to the hospital, where he 
died about an hour later.  The deceased was born October 6, 1891, in Adams 
county, the son of Samuel and Julia Leisure, but had lived in this city for a 
number of years. A former employee of the Kingston corporation, his last 
employment was with the Libby, Mc-Neill & Libby company. He had been ill and 
unable to work for several months.  He was in military service in World War I, 
but was discharged after 26 days.
Surviving are the widow, Grace; two sons, Howard and Karl, at home; five 
daughters, Mrs. Marilyn Badger, Cumamae and Malinda, at home; Mrs. Marian 
Martin, Kokomo, and Mrs. Illaine Miller, Duffield, Va.; two sisters, Mrs. Rosa 
Peas, Fiatt, and Mrs. Nora Shinkle, Anderson; and 10 grandchildren. The body 
is at the Ellers mortuary.  Funeral arrangements await word from the daughter
