Decatur County Journal

January 9, l908

JACOB LEONARD ZIMMERMAN was born in Decatur County, Iowa, February 2,

l876, and passed beyond December 30, l907, aged 3l years, ll months and

3 days.

LEONARD always had a kind word for everybody and will be greatly

missed. Funeral services were held at the Christian Church in Leon,

January l, l908, conducted by Rev. Buchanan, who took for his text Heb.

l0:27 and Amos 4:l2. After the discourse, the K. of P., of which he was

a member, took charge and bore the remains to their last resting place

in the Leon Cemetery.

We can thank God for such a noble company of men and for such services

as the K. of P. gave at the tomb. Deceased leaves an aged mother, six

brothers and one sister and a host of friends to mourn his departure.

May God bless the surviving family in this sad hour of bereavement.
