John Leas. So there was a big family reunion and friends to the
number of eighty-five gathered there to do him honor. All his sur-
viving brothers and sisters were present; they being Dr. E. R. Leas
of Angola, Mrs. Phil Parnell of Smithfield and Mrs. Yeagy of Water-
loo. It was a most pleasant gathering in honor of a most worthy
man, and though in feeble health he enjoyed the occasion with the
happiest of them. And it was an occasion long to be remembered
and the great company separated for their several homes, with a
world of good wishes for his continued health and happiness".
