A month's illness at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Blanche Henson in Dallas, brought death Tuesday to Charley Leeman, 79 years of age.
Mr. Leeman was a native of Honey Grove, being the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Leeman, early settlers of this section.
In 1886 he married Miss Mollie Ernst, who survives with two sons and two daughters: Modrel Leeman, Oklahoma; Charlie Leeman, Omaha, Neb.; Mrs. Henson, Dallas; Mrs. Mary Ida Paulk, San Antonio.
Mr. Leeman, during his early life, was engaged in railroad construction work and had a part in building the roadbed of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe into Honey Grove. He later engaged in the livery stable business here and in 1899 sold his interest. He went to Chickasha, Indian Territory, and opened a like business. After three years he went to Guyman, Okla., and was sheriff for twelve years.
The body was brought to Honey Grove Wednesday and funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the Methodist church, conducted by Rev. W. R. Zimmerman. Burial was made at Oakwood cemetery.
