Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard - Wed. April 12, 1933

Scott P. Leach, 83, died Wednesday morning at his home, 127 Jones street, 
following several months of poor health. Funeral arrangements will not be 
completed until a nephew, John P. Leach of Reading can get here. The body is at 
the Boynton funeral chapel where friends may call and where the services later 
will be held. Burial will be in the Highland Park Cemetery. It was the request 
of Mr. Leach that flowers be omitted at his funeral services. 

He was the son of Benjamin Leach and was born at Naples, N.Y. He came with his 
parents to Oakland County when five years of age and to Ionia 53 years ago. He 
had been an employee of the Grand Trunk Railroad while a resident of Oakland 
county and for years after coming to Ionia, was a repair man for the Pere 
Marquette Railway. After his retirement from the railroad service, he lived for 
20 years on the farm north of Ionia, now belonging to Pat Scheid.

His first wife, who was Lucy Patchett of Birmaingham, died in  1892. A year 
later he married Ada J. Rogers, the daughter of Joseph A. Rogers, an Ionia 
Pioeer who survives him. He was one of a family of 12 children in which there 
were nine boys and three girls, and the last one to go.
