(Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938: August 26, 1869 At his residence in Loretto borough, this county, on Thursday, 19th inst., Michael Leavy, Esq., aged 71 years. Mr. Leavy was born in Allegheny township in March, 1798, and has continued to reside in that township and Loretto borough ever since. He held the office of County Commissioner for one term, commencing in 1833, and in January, 1836, was commissioned a Justice of the Peace by Gov. Bitner, the duties of which office he continued to discharge without interruption up to his last illness. A remarkable trait in his character was his attachment to his own home, and it is probable that he saw less of the outside world than any man of his age in Cambria county. He was honest and upright in all his dealings with his fellow men, an exemplary Christian, a devoted husband and a model father to his children. Honor to his memory and never-ending peace to his soul.
