C. K. Leinbach Died Here Last Night
The death of Judge Calvin K. Leinbach, veteran police judge of this city, last night marked the passing of one of the oldest and best known pioneers of Parsons. He was 76 years old. Judge Leinbach died about 10:30 o’clock in his home at 315 North Central following an illness that began early in March.
Funeral services will be tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock in the home and burial will be in Oakwood cemetery. The services will be conducted entirely by the Cour de Leon commandery of Knights of Templar of which Judge Leinbach was a member. The body will lie in state at the Kersey-Jones funeral home until tomorrow noon.
Ill a Month
Judge Leinbach became ill on Parsons’ fifty-sixth birthday and gradually weakened. He has been confined to his home for several weeks, but hope was held for him until he lapsed into unconsciousness yesterday.
The judge would have completed a four year term on the bench of the Parsons police court this month. His place in that capacity during the past few weeks has been filled by Judge C. D. Nowels of the justice court.
Judge Leinbach came to Parsons 49 years ago at the age of 27. He was born in McEwensville, Pa. He was married here in 1890 to Mrs. Carrie J. Meixell, who survives. Besides his widow he is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Loren Kohler, Walla, Walla, Wash., and two step-sons, John L. Meixell, Spokane, Wash., and Will Meixell of this city who is an employe of the International Harvester company. A brother and five sisters are living in Pennsylvania.
Ex-Mayor of Parsons
As mayor of Parsons for two terms, Judge Leinbach became well known in this part of the country. He also was city councilman, elected to the office several times. He will be remembered by citizens of this city as one of its most active workers and builders, serving the city in several capacities up to the time of his death.
