-OBITUARY-
Hermina Leak, daughter of Mary and John Bulling, was born in Woodland township, 
July 17, 1870 and departed this life at the farm home east of Lake Odessa, 
October 3, 1935, age 65 years,, two months and 16 days.

Her school life was spent in the Euper district. After finishing her schooling 
she remained at the home of her parents until her marriage to Edwin Leak of 
Sebewa township, December 30, 1896. They immediately started housekeeping on the 
farm where they resided at the time of her death. To this union were born six 
children, one daughter Thelma dying at birth.

She was a faithful wife and mother and always  greatly respected in the 
community. The main interest in her life was her home and family.

She leaves to mourn her departure a devoted husband, two daughters, Mrs. Arlo 
Aves of Sebewa and Mrs. Dolph Gattner of Lansing, and three sons, Maynard of 
Lansing and Maurice and Zeno at home, seven grandchildren besides a host of 
relatives and friends.

A few who have watched me sail away
Will miss my craft from the busy hay:
Some friendly harques that were anchored near,
Some loving souls that may heart held dear
In silent sorrow will drop a tear
But I will have peacefully furled my sail
In moorings sheltered from storm or gale,
And greeted the friends who have sailed before
O'er the Unknown Sea to the Unknown Shore. 


-Card of Thanks-

We wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation  for the flowers and also 
the many acts of kindness shown during the illness and death of our beloved wife 
and mother.

Edwin Leak,
Mr. and Mrs. Arlo Aves and family,
Mr. and Mrs. Maynard Leak,
Maurice Leak, Mr. and Mrs. Dolph Gattner and family,
Mr. and Mrs. Zeno Leak and family.
