Obituary:
CAPT. L.M. LEFTWICH
DIES AT OLD AGE
(Note: Newspaper Heading listing his name as Capt. L.M. Leftwich is in error-it is Capt. E.M. Leftwich)
Was Brave Confederate Officer
and Widely Known as
Tax Collector
Mr. E.M. Leftwich, long a familiar figure in Richmond and known to nearly every business man in this vicinity, died at his home, No. 2212 East Grace Street, on Tuesday afternoon in the eighty-fifth year of his age.
Mr. Leftwich was for a number of years and until quite recently, State collector of delinquent taxes for the city of Richmond, and in this capacity mingled freely with the public.
He was in his early life a merchant in this city, and a brave Confederate captain in the war between the states.
Mr. Leftwich was a consistent church member and was identified with the First Baptist Church, where for many years he taught a Sunday school class, known as the "infant" class, which was composed of men ranging in age from fifty to eighty-five years.
He was the father of Dr. A.L. Leftwich and Robert Leftwich of Church Hill.
Mr. Leftwich was well liked by all who knew him and was a familiar figure about the City Hall, having had his office there as a delinquent tax collector for many years. He occupied desk room in Mayor Taylor's office, and His Honor was quite fond of him.
Mr. Leftwich's death was not altogether unexpected, as his friends realized that at his advanced age, chances were largely against his recovery from an attack of sickness.
The funeral will take place from the residence at 11 o'clock to-day and the following gentlemen, members of his old Sunday school class, will act as pallbearers: Messrs. A.O. Jones, N.R. Savage, C.H. Hagan, B.B. Walthall, Carlton Jackson, Thomas W. Joseph, Howard Walthall, and B. Vaughan.
The interment will be in Oakwood.
