Person:Robert Leonard (12)

Longmont Times-Call, CO, Monday, December 28, 1931 Rites Held Saturday for Bobby Leonard

For little Robert Burton 'Bobby' Leonard, 10 year old Longmont lad, whose untimely death just before Christmas brought grief to family and friends, impressive and beautiful services were held Saturday afternoon from the Presbyterian church.

Rev. E.E. Emhoff, pastor of the church, brought a comforting message to the bereaved and paid tribute to the departed child, in conducting the final rites. Mrs. Charles Scott and Mrs. Sidney Reeder with Mrs. E.E. Emhoff at the organ, sang "There is a Country" by Parks; and Henry Brooks sang "Safe in the Arms of Jesus", Mrs. Emhoff accompanying him also.

Six of Bobby's playmates, Frederick Lang, Lynn Richmond, Donald Heggem, Ralph Morrell, Gordon Huffman and Alonso Froland were the pallbearers.

The church was filled with sympathizing friends, whose offerings of flowers were many and beautiful, bespeaking the regard of all for the Leonard family.

The internment was made in the family plot at Mountain View cemetery.
