LEONARD

Sunday afternoon at the family residence on East Seventh street, occurred the death of Mrs. Thomas Leonard, her demise being the result of a bad fall received on a slipper side walk Saturday afternoon. She never recovered from the shock of the fall and attending injuries and passed away at the hour stated. Her demise was quite unexpected and will occasion general regret among her friends.

Mrs. Leonard was a native of Ireland, and was born in 1834. About fifty years ago she came to Iowa, first settling in Dubuque, and then settling in this city, which has since been her home. In religious faith she was a Catholic and for many years she has been an active member of St. Anthony's parish. The surviving family consists of her husband, four sons and two daughters. These are Daniel C., of the Rock Island arsenal; Edward H., also employed at the arsenal; Thomas F., a carpenter of this city; James, of Muscatine; Miss Cecelia, of Muscatine, and Miss Clara at home.

The funeral will be held from the late residence, 221 East Seventh street, this morning, with services at St. Anthony's church at 9 o'clock. The interment will be made in St. Marguerite's cemetery.
