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.

Obituary:

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.

Funeral of Judge Darius Leeth
The funeral services of the late Judge Leeth were held in the Christian church last Friday afternoon at two o'clock. The weather was miserable, there being a steady down pour of rain, yet in spite of this fact the large auditorium of the church was filled by the friends of the deceased who thus showed the great love and respect in which the deceased was held. The services were beautiful and impressive. Rev. Darsie delivered an excellent funeral oration speaking plainly of the many beautiful traits of character that endeared Judge Leeth to the people. The floral offerings were rich and profuse and breathed a perfume of peace over the scene.
At the conclusion of the funeral sermon Widow's Son Lodge 571, F. and A. M., took charge of the services and conducted the last rites, concluding at the grave.
Those present from out of town were: Mr. and Mrs. Martin Leeth of Payne L. E. Leeth of Payne, Wm. Wren of Ft. Wayne, Mr. Charles Wren and daughter Miss Nora of West Mansfield, Ohio.
The following Masonic brethren of out of town were in attendance at the funeral: J. H. Adcock, David Zuber, John Paulson, A. R. Lacy, E. P. Lacy, C. C. Jacobs, S. B. Harris, Byron Snook, Thos.

OBITUARY
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 23 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 a 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 19 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. Voluminous could be written of his splendid character and exemplary life as a citizen without overdoing 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 abandoned 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. He 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 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. (Paulding Democrat, March 24, 1904, page 7)

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.

Leven worked in the Tile Mills near East Liberty and after Almina died, he moved to Paulding.

Payne Couple Observe Three Events Sunday
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.
