Person:Willard Leonard (1)

Longmont Ledger, Colorado, Friday, Sept 7, 1928, P 6

Willard Bennett Leonard, fifteen months old baby son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Leonard was taken in his sweet babyhood Monday morning, September 3, after an illness of one week. He had reached the delightful stage when he could toddle across the floor and laugh in childish glee at his accomplishment. This cheerful little playmate will be sadly missed by his two brothers, Robert Burton and Allen Duane Leonard. The little fellow was born May 13, 1927, and while he had not always been in the best of health, he was a happy, robust looking child.

In order that the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs O.B. Robbins of Loveland might hasten to Indiana to the bedside of Mr. Robbins' uncle, the funeral was conducted Tuesday morning. Services were held at the Shaw Memorial Chapel, in charge of Rev. E.E. Emhoff, of the Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Leo Noble sang "Little Pink Rose," and Mrs. Charles Scott sang "He Knows" accompanied by Mrs. Emhoff. A great profusion of flowers helped to express the sympathy of the community with the sorrowing parents and brothers. The little body was laid to rest in Mountain View cemetery.
