Obituary:

Tuesday, Dec. 18, funeral services were held for Mr. John Leeth the aged father of Judge Darius Leeth. Despite the fact that many people in the neighborhood of Payne are still afraid to attend any public gathering the funeral was largely attended. Services were conducted by Rev. Wm. Harris, of Paulding, and the interment was in the cemetery northeast of Payne. John Leeth was born in Pike county, Dec. 9 1822 and died Dec. 17, 1900, age 78 year and 8 days.
He moved to Paulding county, about 23 years ago, and has proven himself a worthy citizen a good husband and father.
When about 18 years old Mr. Leeth united with the Protestant Methodist church and has since then been a faithful member of that communion. In 1843 he was married to Miss Nancy Walls and for 57 years they have walked this life hand in hand.
Eleven children have been born to this union. Two dying in early childhood, nine remain to support the aged mother in her bereavement. Mr. Leeth's last words indicate the spirit of the man. They were that his children might always be mindful of their duty to their creator. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them."

John married Nancy Walls on 21 Apr 1844 in Pike County, Ohio, United States. Nancy (daughter of Levi Walls, Jr. and Susannah Harmanson) was born on 9 May 1826 in Pike County, Ohio, United States; died on 24 Jan 1906 in Payne, Paulding County, Ohio, United States; was buried in Jan 1906 in Payne, Paulding County, Ohio, United States.
