CAR ACCIDENT FATAL TO WELL KNOWN CITIZEN

FORMER WATER WORKS SUPT. DIES AT M-44 AND M-66 INTERSECTION

An auto accident at Woods Corners late Thursday afternoon took the life of Mark 
Leetch, well known resident of this city. He was returning to Muir, his present 
home, and attempted to pass a county road truck at a point near where M-44 
joins M-66 and in doing so struck the truck, coming west on M-44. When help 
arrived 15 minutes later, he was pronounced dead,

Mr. Leetch was born April 25, 1872, in Wayne county, the son of Mr. and Mrs. 
DeWitt Leetch, and at two years of age moved to Clinton county near Fowler, 
living there 25 years. He married Mary Ewald in April, 1897, at Pierpoint, 
S.D., and they came to Belding in 1908. Mrs. Leetch died in 1946. Mrs. Leetch 
was superintendent of the city water department for many years until his 
retirement a few years ago. Last year he married Anna Bennett of Muir and she 
survives him. Other survivors are a daughter, Mrs. Ada Bailey, and three 
grandchildren, Robert, Roger, and Mary, of Pentwater. He was a member of the 
Church of Christ, Masonic lodge, Odd Fellows and Rebekahs. 

Funeral services will be held Friday at 2 o'clock at the Fales-Huffman Funeral 
Home with Rev. W.F. Reynders of the Church of Christ officiating and the 
Masonic lodge will conduct a memorial service. Burial will be in East Plains 
cemetery, Clinton county.
