 The death of Jacob M. Leinenkugel, aged 42, a native of Chippewa Falls, 
took place at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at Tucson, Ariz., after a lingering illness 
of a year or more.

 Mr. Leinenkugel was born in this city Dec. 5, 1893, the son of the late 
Matthew and Mrs. Leinenkugel. He attended St. Charles school, and the Chippewa 
Falls high school, from which he graduated in 1913. He then entered St. Thomas 
college at St. Paul and from there went to the University of Wisconsin where 
he spent two years in the law school. He attended Notre Dame university at 
South Bend, Ind., and was admitted to the state bar of Indiana. He then took 
a post-graduate course in law at Yale university.

 When the World war broke out he enlisted but was not accepted owing to 
disability. He went to Washington, D.C., and was employed in the legal 
department of the Aircraft Production bureau. While there he was married to 
Ethel Schaefer of that city, who with two sons, William and James, survives 
him. He is also survived by his mother, Mrs. Matt Leinenkugel, who was at his 
bedside at the time of death, one sister, Mrs. Josephine Black, and a brother, 
Carl, both of Chippewa Falls. The latter is now in Madison.

 Besides other offices held by Mr. Leinenkugel he was at one time commander of 
the American Legion post here, served as United States attorney in Boston, and 
for the last few years was in the internal revenue service.
