JUDGE LEETH
Passes Away After Long Illness.
Judge Darius Leeth of the Probate court of this county answered the death summons Wednesday morning at 3 a.m., after a long illness from consumption.
He was born in Pike county April 28th., 1846 and was therefore 57 years, 10 months and 25 days old at the time of his death. He grew to manhood in his native county but later he removed to Logan county where he was united in marriage to Miss Mary A. Wren. They came to Paulding county about 30 years ago and have since resided here. He leaves a wife and a large family of grown children to mourn his decease.
Judge Leeth was resident of Harrison township for many years where he held positions of trust repeatedly, always with fairness and fidelity. In 1893 he was favored by the Republican party with the nomination for probate judge and was elected by a large majority. Defeated for his second term by the narrow margin of 12 votes, his party again honored him with the nomination in 1899 and he was triumphantly elected and again re-elected in 1902. At the time of his death he was serving his third term in that important office with honesty, fidelity and popularity with the people.
Judge Leeth was an honest, honorable, upright man. Voluomns could be written of his splendid character and exemplary life as a citizen without over-doing the subject. Judge Leeth's spiritual character is best illustrated by this brief paragraph kindly handed to us by his pastor.
"Judge Leeth for a number of years was skeptical in regard to christianity. Confused by the sects of christendom and the various creeds, he had abanded hope of understanding religious matters and had concluded that God did not require an open profession of men. But in 1896 under the preaching of Victor W. Dorris he was led to see that 'God calls all men everywhere to repent and turn to God.' Accordingly on Dec., 16th., of that year he was baptised in Christ by G. B. Townsend. H has been for a number of years a deacon in the Church of Christ in Paulding and died as he expressed himself, without fear, but sorry that he could not do more good in the world."
The funeral will occur on Friday afternoon under the auspices of Widow's Son Lodge F. & A. M. of which he was a devoted member, from the Christian church, its pastor Rev. Chas. Darsie officiating and his remains will be interred in Live Oak Cemetery.
The family have the true sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.

Notes:

Leven Elias Leeth can be found in various records as Leaven, Leven, Elevin and Levan. I used the spelling most often found on his documents. I believe he was probably named after a great grandfather whose name was Levin Harnanson. Levin is the more common spelling for this name.

MEMORIES.... by Charlotte (Leeth) Beck
The thing I remember most about grandpa was that he never smiled, never cracked a joke, was very strict and very religious. He wore a long handlebar mustache and none of the kids liked it when he kissed them, including me. Grandpa and Grandma Leeth lived with us for awhile in Lancaster, Ohio.

Shelley and Quince Families
Frances and Mary Jane (Shanberg) Shelley were natives of France, and members of the Catholic church. Mr. Shelley attended in Paris seven years, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Shelley were married in France and there in France were born seven children. Mary, Catherine, Mary Ann, Martha, Lovina, Henry and Victoria. Francis Jr., and Peter were born in this country. The family emigrated to America in 1831 and settled in Richland county. In 1840 the family came to Paulding county and entered 80 acres of land one mile north of Payne on north-east corner. They built their cabin where the home of Mr. Cox now stands. They lived there with their family until the death of Mr. Shelley, August 6 1866.
Mrs. Emma Bodey a grand-daughter remembers hearing them tell of the roof blowing off the cabin one night. The parents and daughters slept downstairs in the small cabin and the sons in the loft. This night a man way-farer was a guest and the boys and guest were compelled to descend quickly in abbreviated costumes. While the parents remained faithful to the Catholic faith, the children later joined the United Brethren church. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Shelley made her home with her son Henry Shelley who lived in the home at Lamb's corners and with her daughter Mrs. Quince. She died March 20, 1885, aged 94 years. Each of these sons were given on their marriage forty acres of land. Henry earned the forty acres across from the Hiram Underwood farm with the proceeds of night's coon hunting and sold it $75.00.

Mary Ann married Solomon Mott of Vernon Junction, Ohio. Friends here only know of one daughter, Julia. Mrs. Mott is now living at the age of 90 years.
Martha chose for her husband, William Holmes and the family moved to Iowa, cannot ascertain names of children. Lovina married Maurice Keller and for many years lived on South Main street and built the house in which Miss Nellie Bradley lives. They had no children.

His first wife was Miss Abagail Chaney the daughter of Charles Chaney of this county, one son Charles was born to them. The wife died and Mr. Shelley married Miss Mahala Mikle, a sister of Daniel Mikle. Their children were Abram, Louisa the wife of L. Leeth and three deceased. Mrs. Mahala Shelley died in 1866. In 1869, Julia Myton the daughter of Robert and Rhoda Homan Myton of German lineage became the third wife. Their children were Carrie who died in 1883, Emma born May 21, 1875 and wife of Isaac Body. Victoria born Sept. 5, 1877. Ada May born May 23, 1881 and wife of George Fugate, and Lucy born June 27, 1889.

On Sunday, June 18th, Mr. and Mrs. Levan Leeth of Payne observed their 55th wedding anniversary, Father's Day, and Mrs. Leeth's 73rd birthday with a dinner at noon to 40 relatives.

Newspaper:

To many people, this coming Sunday, April 3rd, won't mean much. it will be just another Sunday. but to Mr. and Mrs. Leven Leeth it will be a very special day, for it will mark their 65th year of married life.
Mr. and Mrs. Leeth are pictured above in their home one and one-half miles northeast of Tipton in Blue Creek township. They plan to spend the wedding anniversary day quietly at their home.
Yes, 65 years ago, in 1884, Leven Leeth and Louisa Shelly were united in the holy bonds of wedlock at the bride's home, north of Payne in Paulding County. And looking back over those 65 years Mr. Leeth who celebrated his 93rd birthday March 17th, and Mrs. Leeth will be 82 June 18th, both agree that they were all good years and happy ones. And they still are, for both Mr. and Mrs. Leeth are in remarkably good health and fine spirits—although they admit that they're beginning to notice their age a bit now and then.
Paulding County Native
Mrs. Leeth is a true Paulding County native, for she was born near Payne, and has lived here all her life. And although Mr. Leeth can now consider himself as one of the oldest residents in Paulding County, he is not a real native of the place, for he was born in Pike County, and lived in Logan County a number of years before he came to live with his family in Harrison Township.
Mr. Leeth still remembers when he first came to Paulding County in 1872 when he was only 16 years old. The old canal was still in commission at the time, and still being used for freight. However, it was not long before the last boat to leave Antwerp on the canal was loaded with lumber and made the historical last trip. Mr. Leeth can lay claim to a distinction of sorts, for he was one of the men that helped load the boat for its last trip.
Reservoir Incident
Outstanding among the recollections in his mind of the days long since gone by, is one about the blowing up of the reservoir, the waters of which covered the land of several farmers who had their farms taken from them when the reservoir was built.
He well remembers the feeling and talk that led up to the decision to blow it up, the quiet well organized group of 100 men or so, who loaded a half ton of dynamite into a wagon one night, calmly set the fuses and proceeded to blow the reservoir up. The water poured into the Maumee River, the men got their land back, no one was hurt, and as there was no following investigation, the whole incident turned out very successfully.
Remembers Civil War
Although to most of us, the Civil War is just something to be studied and read about in school, to Mr. Leeth it is a part of his memories of his childhood. He remembers the day an official rode up to his parents home on a bay horse to serve draft orders on his father and how his mother cried. However, his father did as so many of his time did—and paid the customary bounty (in his case it was $300) to a fellow to act as substitute in his place.
As a result, his father was still around at the time of Morgan's Raid on the area around Pike County, and was among the number of men who stood guard over various bridges to prevent Morgan from blowing them up.
Sixty-five years of married life have blessed the Leeth's with a family of nine children (five boys and four girls) and well over—believe it or not—one hundred grandchildren and great grandchildren. In addition to this amazing figure, they claim three great-great-grandchildren.
The children are: John Mathias, at home: Ethel, or Mrs. Frances Maxwell, near Fort Wayne; Charles Henry, West Manchester, Ohio; Annie Edith or Mrs. Johnas Brown, Rome City, Indiana; Harry Lindley, Fort Wayne; Rhoda Velta, or Mrs. Alfred Baughman, Holly, Michigan; David Edward, near Payne; and Lafayette Elias, Briceton. A daughter, Gertrude Louisa, died.

Newspaper:

Postmaster W. E. Lehman, in a very able manner, then presented to Mr. Leeth a beautiful smoking set, as a token of remembrance from the boys of the Payne post-office.
A brief report of the business transacted at the National Convention, which was held at Detroit in August, was given by S. D. Mooney, who was a delegate from the Fifth District. Following this report a number of interesting talks were made by visiting post-masters and carriers.
At a late hour all departed for their homes wishing Mr. and Mrs. Leeth a very happy "vacation."
