John LEICY was born in Lancaster Co, PA, Feb 18, 1825, and died in Richland County, Dec 20, 1899. He was united in marriage to Sarah COOVER Nov 22, 1849, which union was blessed the eleven children. Two daughters and one son preceded him to the spirit world, while three sons and five daughters, an aged companion, thirty grandchildren, four great-grandchildren remain to mourn the loss of a dear father and husband. Father LEICY united with the German Baptist Church in 1861 of which he remained a faithful member till death. For nine months he was afflicted with marked patience. Realizing his end was near, he made his arrangements accordingly. He was anxious to go home and often spoke of the meeting over there. His request was for all to meet him in Heaven. He lived a Christian life and beautifully did his sun set. (a poem follows).
