  Obituary- Leech, Caroline Obituary Mrs. Caroline Leech, mother of Will Attebury, died at home of her daughter Mrs. Mindoz at Oceola, Apr. 26, 1909. The body was brought to Rossville Tuesday evening and was taken to the old homestead south of town when on the following day funeral services were conducted by Rev. H.L. Nelson of Topeka. The interment took place in city cemetery. Caroline Anderson was born at Astoria, Ill. July 31, 1842, and was married to Thomas Attebury Aug. 13, 1857. To this union seven children were born, two of whom preceded her to the unknown world - one dying in infancy and the other, Fred passing away Sept. 5, 1901. She was a life long member of the Methodist church, uniting with that organization when but a child. Hers was a strong christian character and her grace was bright to the last and died rejoicing in the Savior's love. She came to Rossville with her husband in 1877 and settled on the farm now owned by Wm. Attebury. After the death of her husband she married Mr. Leech of Thayer, Kans. where they were living, when she was stricken with the last illness. A large number of the old time neighbors and friends gathered at the old home for the funeral service Wednesday afternoon to pay a last tribute of respect to the dead.
