Oliver W Leathers, one of the old settlers of our village, passed peacefully away last Thursday afternoon at his home on the north side, after a long illness caused by a cancerous
trouble
Mr. Leathers was born at Palmyra, Maine, sixty-nine years ago. He came west early settling first at St. Anthony, then at Oak Grove and Spencer Brook and finally settled on a farm in the vicinity of Princeton, where he lived
until he came to the village a few years ago. Blessed with a vigorous constitution the dreadful disease had a hard battle.
A widow and seven children, Joseph A, Charles H, Willis E., Frank W., and Eugene L., and Mrs.E. A. Briggs and Mrs. George Simms, survive him.
The funeral services were conducted at his late home Saturday afternoon, Rev J. K. Shults officiating.
