Mrs. Mary Leasure was stricken with paralysis while attending services in St. 
Thomas' Roman Catholic church Sunday morning. She was taken to John Hughes 
residence nearby and a doctor was quickly summoned.  The physician and loving
friends did everything possible for the sufferer, who lingered until Monday
morning, when the final summons came. The body was taken to the home of 
decedent's brother, Henry Will, West Pitt street, and on Wednesday morning was 
interred in the new Catholic cemetery.  Funeral services were held in St. 
Thomas' church, Rev. Father Cashman celebrating requiem high mass.  Mrs. 
Leasure was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Will and was born near New 
Baltimore fifty-three years ago.  About thirty years ago, she was united in 
marriage to John Leasure, of Cumberland Valley, who died two years ago. She is 
survived by nine children, one sister and three brothers, namely; Mrs. Henry F. 
Weber, of Near Wolfsburg; Henry Will, of Bedford, John and George Will, of New 
Baltimore. The deceased was a member of the Catholic church.  She was a most 
estimable woman and had a wide circle of friends who admired her for her 
strength of character.
