From the Hartwell Sun of March 1936
Mr. Jesse Mercer Leard passed away at
his home near Bowersville Sunday night at 9:30 after suffering with influenza for
about two weeks. Mr. Leard was 84 years of age and had been active all his life
till the recent illness carried him away. Funeral services for Mr. Leard were held
at the Leard home on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. Nellie
Mann Opdale of Canon. Interment was in the Bowersville Cemetery. The pall bearers
were: Lecel A. Leard, Claude Leard, Myron R. Leard, children of Horton Leard and
George Leard, grandchildren of Mr. Leard. Mr. leard was born in Hart County near
Redwine Church on November 28th, 1851. He spent his early years in Hart County around
the old Leard Homestead. In 1876 he was married to Miss Margaret Johnson of Hart
County who has been his faithful companion since and still survives, although in
feeble health at present. Mr. Leard moved to his present home 54 years ago. Six
children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Leard, five of whom survive. They are Lecel Leard
of near Bowersville; Mrs. George Perkins of Norman, Oklahoma; C.J. Leard of Hartwell;
Dr. P.A. Leard of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Myron R. Leard of Colbert, Georgia.
He is also survived by 15 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. The death of
a daughter, Miss Lizzie Leard, which occurred at Canon last year, was the first
death of this large family. Mr. Leard was the oldest of 8 children. All have passed
away except the youngest, Mrs. Ollie Phillips, who lives in Atlanta. Mr. Leard was
one of the old type citizens whom we regret to see depart. He lived at home, attended
to his own affairs, looked after his business, reared an honorable family, and owed
no man. He was regarded as one of our best citizens. His wife was confined to her
bed when death came to Mr. Leard. She is also advanced in years. She stood the shock
of her husband's death remarkably well and is in as good condition as could be expected.
