Mrs. Mary Melinda Cree, a resident of Shawtown near Loop station, died on 
Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, at the Nason sanitarium at Roaring Spring of 
strangulation of the bowels, following an operation.  She was taken suddenly 
ill on Wednesday and on Saturday it was learned that an operation was 
necessary and she was removed to the sanitarium for that purpose.  Deceased

Leech.  She was aged about 60 years.  Her husband, John Cree, preceded her to 
the grave some years ago.  Mrs. Cree was a member of the Methodist church and 
was a good wife and mother.  For the past several years she had resided at 
Shawtown with some of her children.  She is survived by eight children as

Huntingdon, Charles and Mrs. Rhoda Van Derweeler of Katamazoo, Mich., also by 
three brothers, Elmer E., John G. and Irwin Leech of Mifflin.

Additional Comments:
A daughter of should be Orrin and Catherine (Dill) Leech.  Also, I believe 
Mary Melinda Leech Cree was born on April 16, 1864 or 1865.
