LEROY ANDERSON DEAD
J.D. Anderson received a telegram stating his son Leroy had died at the state insane asylum yesterday morning at 6:30. This was a great surprise to the family as they had just received a letter the day before written in his own hand. The young man was just past twenty-four years old and has been in failing health for the past seven years. His bad health resulted in an unsettled mind and last March he was adjudged insane and admitted to the asylum in May. Prior to his insanity he was a young man of exemplary habits and held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. He will be buried at Topeka for the present, but it is the intention of the family to have the body removed to Warren, Iowa, and have it laid beside his mother who is buried there
