    "Buford B. Leach - Islesboro, May 21

    Funeral services for Buford B. Leach, who died last week at Redstone, N.H. were held Saturday afternoon at Second Baptist Church. By request from the family the Rev. Harold Nutter of the Waldo County Larger Parish, came to Islesboro to read the funeral service. Mr. Nutter was pastor of the local church during a part of the time Mr. Leach resided here.

    Mr. Leach, who was 66 years old, had been ill many months at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Clayton Mason, of Redstone, where he and Mrs. Leach went more than two years ago after selling their home here.

    He was born at Penobscot, the youngest son of Uriah and Edith Snowman Leach. He came to Islesboro about 27 years ago and for more than 20 years served as manager of the George Clark estate at Dark Harbor. He was a member of Island Lodge, F & AM, and during his residence here was active in civic affairs.

    He married in 1900 at Penobscot Miss Charlotte Gray, and four children, a son and three daughters, was born to them. The widow and three daughters survive. They are Mrs. Courtney Babbidge of Dark Harbor, Mrs. Mason and Mrs George Owens of Aiken, S.C. Thirteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren also survive, and one sister, Mrs. Dora Littlefield of Brockton, Mass."

    "Many of the "cottagers" retained their caretaker-gardeners year-round and hired other Islanders as their boatmen, housekeepers and laundresses for the summer. They brought their own cooks, nursemaids, waitresses, housemen, butlers and tutors from the cities. Among the caretaker-gardeners who served for many years were Burr Mitchell, Fred Dix Pendleton and his sons, Foster and Frederick, Jack McLeod, Buford Leach, Leslie Pendleton, Ben Moody and Ralph Gray."
