On March 27, 1904, this good woman and Mr. Robert C. Leeper were married. This has ever been a happy family. Five children have come into the home, the youngest dying in infancy, leaving four beautiful children, two boys and two girls, as a comfort to the sorrowing father.
The funeral services were held in South Park Methodist church Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Jeffrey, pastor, conducting the services.
There was a large attendance of friends. The services were simple, tender and impressive throughout. The minister spoke from the text, "Let not your heart be troubled," etc. John 14: 1-3, inclusive. The choir sang by request the good old hymns, "Jesus Lover of My Soul," "Rock of Ages" and "Nearer My God to Thee."
The most profound sympathy was manifest toward the family, all of whom are held in high esteem by the entire community. Burial took place in Ridgelawn cemetery, and a little later the body of the infant will be transferred and laid beside the mother.
Mrs. Leeper came to Collinsville about three years ago. During this time Mr.
Leeper has been in the employ of the Bartlesville Zinc company and enjoys the priveledge of a neat little cottage of his own. Before coming to South Park these good people had been active members of the United Brethern church. Soon after they transferred their membership to South Park and have actively identified with the work in all of its departments. Mrs. Leeper will be greatly missed -- a good woman; gentle, kind, of pure speech and pure heart. No ungracious word ever escaped her lips, of retiring nature, devoted to her family. Such a life is worth while.
The following relatives from out of town were present. Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Smith, father and mother of Mrs. Leeper, and Mrs. Schwint, a sister, all of Quincy, Kansas; a brother John W. Smith, and wife, of Appleton City, Missuori; Mrs. C. W. Allen, mother of Mr. Leeper, and brother Luther and Miss Margaret Leeper, a sister, all of Iola, Kansas; and brother Albert Allen, of Collinsville. The entire community shares with these friends in this their unspeakable loss.
Not in the history of this section of the city have the neighbors, friends and citizens been more deeply greived than when announcement was made that Mrs.
Leeper had passed away. While it was known from the beginning of her illness that it was serious and severe, yet it was not easy to believe her ailment would prove fatal. But medical skill, efficient nursing and the tenderest care of friends were not equal in the battle for life against the messenger of death, After a brave fight of but a few days, on Sunday evening, February 20, 1916, at her home in South Park, at 8:30 o'clock, the end came, and Mrs. Leeper loved by all who knew her, had finished her earthly pilgrimage, and leaves to all a blessed memory of her life.
