Two large peach seeds, which lodged in his stomach several months ago, are believed to have caused the death of Mannasseh LEEDY, 76, whose funeral took place today (Saturday) at Richland Center, Rev. Samuel McNEELY officiating. For some time Mr. Leedy had been suffering from severe pains and although many physicians were called upon to investigate his case no cause for his illness could be ascertained. When he died a post mortem examination was held and the two large peach seeds were found in his stomach. Rochester doctors attributed his death to these seeds which it is believed were swallowed by Mr. Leedy during the early part of the past summer. He leaves a wife and three sons.

The funeral of Mannasseh LEEDY, of this place, on last Friday afternoon, was largely attended. He was nearly 67 years of age. He suffered a long time with stomach trouble which was thought to be cancer, but a post mortem was held and two peach seeds were found lodged in his stomach and by their appearance had been there for a long time. It is thought that they caused most all of his trouble. He leaves to mourn their loss a host of relatives and friends, but he was ready to go and our loss is but his gain. - - - RICHLAND CENTER ITEMS.
