Virginian-Pilot April 17, 1947
Leonard Bertram East, 79, retired business man, died last night at his home, 500 
Massachusetts Avenue, after a long illness.
A member of a prominent Norfolk family, Mr. East and three brothers — J. Frank, 
Thomas J. and William East, now all deceased — founded the Farmers Manufacturing 
Company about 50 years ago and disposed of the business in the early 1930's. He 
later had an interest in the Park Place Laundry.
He was active in patriotic and political affairs, once running unsuccessfully 
for a seat on City Council. A charter member of the Glenwood Park Place 
Presbyterian Church, he had been a member of the Knox Presbyterian Church about 
15 years.
Besides his wife, Mrs. Emma Cole East, he is survived by a son, Samuel Bertram 
East; four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He was a native of Isle 
of Wight County but had resided in Norfolk most of his life.
The body will be taken from the Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home to the Knox 
Presbyterian Church for funeral services tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Burial 
will be in Elmwood Cemetery.
