Coshocton Age, 7 Sep 1905, Pg. 2, Col. 1
Friday afternoon about five o’clock all that was immortal of Samuel Leech, Sr.,
passed from this world to 
enjoy for eternity the blessings of another.  Mr. Leech was born in this country
eighty-one years ago and 
from then on till his death lived the life of a sturdy pioneer, quiet, industrious,
civil, and christian citizen.  
In his death the community loses a character of stern and sterling qualities; one of
those originators of that 
strict, old time principle of civil and religious freedom, and of the belief of
right thinking and right living.  
At an early age he became a member of the Presbyterian congregation and always
remained a faithful and 
sincere worker in the cause in which he died.

All his life he lived in and about this locality and therefore will the home of
Samuel Leech always be 
remembered as one of the oldest and most useful builders of this section of the
country.  His loss is 
mourned by a second wife, three daughters, four sons and hosts of other relatives
and friends.  Also 
thirteen grandchildren.  The funeral services were conducted at the home and church
by pastor V.L. Grabiel 
of West Lafayette and Rev. McCunnings of Newcomerstown, D.L. Lydick of Newcomerstown
had charge of 
the corpse.  Interment was made in the village cemetery Sunday afternoon amid
imposing ceremonies and 
floral contributions.  The grieved friends have the universal sympathy of the
community.
