Information from John Medley Book by Sister Mary Louise Donnelly:
Nicholas drown in the Rolling Fork River and is buried at St. Catherine Cemetery, New Haven, KY
Death of Dr. Leake
News has been received here of the death of Dr. N K Leake of New Haven Monday. It is said that he went out on the river in a skiff which capsized and threw him into the water. He swam to a tree and held on to it for two or three hours, while workmen were constructing a raft to rescue him. He was brought ashore alive, but died soon afterwards probably from cold and exhaustion.
