Eli LEITER, who died at his home in Kewanna, Thursday, was born in Ohio nearly 61 years ago, and his parents moved to Leiters Ford during his infancy.
In 1868 he went to Kewanna as a clerk in the PHILLIPS & LEITER store in which position he remained for ten years. During this time he and the late J. C. PHILLIPS published Kewanna's first newspaper, The Times.
In 1870 he married Mrs. Mary McCARTER, who had a daughter, now Mrs. FOSDICK, of Butler, and to them were born five children, viz: Jennie [LEITER], Arthur [LEITER], Grace [LEITER], Pearl [LEITER] and Olive [LEITER], the first born having died when only two years old.
As a citizen Mr. Leiter was the personification of honor and christian zeal. He was always an enthusiastic Methodist and a radical temperance advocate but he was not offensive in his enthusiasm for good and people in all stations of life honored, respected and liked him. Indeed, he was one of the men who worked for better things for his community and his country and contributed his full share of aid to distress and help for the needy and will long be remembered as a good man who emulated the principles of charitable christian fellowship.
