The Clinton Daily Herald, Thursday June 9, 1892, p. 4. -Mrs. W.E. Leffingwell, widow of the late Judge Leffingwell, who lived for so many years in this county and in our midst, died at the home of her daughter in Maquoketa on Tuesday, aged 69 years. She had been an invalid for the past six years, the result of an accident. In addition to the daughter, Mrs. Hodge, of Maquoketa, four sons survive - W.B., of Clinton; Frank P., George M., and Robert L., of Chicago. The funeral services will occur to-morrow morning at 9:30 from the Congregational church, the Scottish Rite Masons having charge of arrangements, of which order in this city Judge Leffingwell was the founder. Mrs. Leffingwell was a model wife and mother, who was fondly loved by her children, and the hosts of friends with whom she was acquainted, both through her own attractiveness and her husband's renown.
