Lake Odessa Wave - Times - March 15, 1912
          OBITUARY

   Franklin H Leigh was born in Oswego Co., New York, October 23rd, 1835. He came to
Michigan with his 
family in 1855. He followed various occupations until 1873 when he was married to
Imogene Haskins and 
settled on the farm northeast of Woodbury where he has since resided. Mr. Leigh must
be counted as one of 
Michigan's sturdy pioneers as the model farm of today was then an unbroken forest.
His naturally 
conservative and judicial temperament, honorable and upright life gained him the
respect and esteem of the 
people in the community in which he has lived.

   He died Friday March 8 of neuralgia of the heart after about a week's illness
following a general decline for 
several years back. He was 76 years, 4 months and 16 days of age.

   His wife, five sons, viz. -- Arthur of Mulliken, Irving of Lansing and Elmer,
Hubert and Clarence at home also 
a brother Spencer Leigh of Lake Odessa and a sister Mrs. Beard of Jackson together
with a wide 
acquaintance of warm friends will mourn his love.

   The funeral was held Sunday at the house, Rev. Jarvis preaching the sermon and
interment was made in 
Lakeside cemetery.
