All of Milan lost a very good friend indeed with the passing New Year's Day of Reverend Leroy Cabbage, former pastor of the Peoples Presbyterian Church in Milan. When the call went out for service to the community over and above the call of duty, you could always count on Reverend Cabbage to not only volunteer his services, but to get the job done as well. His type of devotion to service above self could never be properly rewarded here on earth. Reverend Cabbage's complete obituary may be found on Page six of this issue.

Reverend Leroy Cabbage, 79, of 245 Ideal Street, Milan, died at the McPherson Hospital in Howell on January 1, 1975. He had suffered a heart attack while en route to his home following a visit to his son. He was born August 29, 1895 in Salina, Iowa, the son of Jonathon and Isabelle Cabbage.
