Born and Raised Here
Leatha DeBord, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. DeBord, was born January 3rd, 18813 at the farm northwest of Princeville. She attended the nearby country school and later completed the high school course in Princeville, receiving her diploma with the class of 1902. Subsequently she taught a year in a rural school and then took a year's course of study at Bradley Polytechnic Institute in Peoria, again engaged in teaching school and followed this vocation until her marriage to Mr. Gingrich in 1906. Practically all her life since then has been spent on a farm. A number of years the family lived near Duncan and a year ago Mr. Gingrich purchased the large farm of 605 acres northwest of Wyoming.
Winter in Town
At some seasons of the year they came to Princeville to live and occupied a large dwelling on Santa Fr St., afterwards sold to John F. Bliss always returning to the farm for the busy season.
Last year they bought the fine dwelling of Dr. Wilcox on Canton St. just east of the home of Mrs. Gingrich's parents. They planned to there in the winter and on farm in Stark county in the summer until each time as they could retire when they would take up a permanent residence in Princeville. Mr. and Mrs. Gingrich were in perfect accord on this plan, not withstanding reports to the contrary.
Many Friends Here
Mrs. Gingrich was prominent in social circles. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, the Eastern Star, School Improvement and other organizations. Only Tuesday of last week she worked hard in helping serve the annual Washington's Birthday dinner of the Improvement society. She easily formed friendships and thus the circle of those who mourns usually large.
Good Home For Children
