The Ionia Standard, Friday, February 12, 1886
Died at her home and residence of Theodore Leach, in the township of Orleans, 
in her 76th year, Mrs. Losetta Leach, wife of James Leach, who died at the 
same place some thirteen years ago.  Deceased was born in Connecticut, 
removing from there with her parents to Hudson, Summit County, Ohio, where she 
was united in marriage to James Leach July 16th, 1829, being among the first 
settlers of that county.  They underwent all the hardships of a pioneer life, 
and remained in that county until 1868, when they removed to Ionia county.  
She was the mother of eleven children, six of whom survive her, and feel they 
have sustained a great loss.  She died an exemplary Christian, having united 
with the M. E. church in early life; was a woman of much strength of 
character, simple in her tastes and habits, a devoted wife and mother.

Dearest mother, though left us under the saddest of circumstances, mental 
affliction hath deprived you for many months from being able to know those who 
loved you most.  Diphtheria having visited your home, just at the close of 
life, hath deprived your children of that last and only pleasure of 
surrounding your bedside that they might lend their last and timely 
assistance, none were there save those whose kindest cares were lent to thee.
