OBITUARY OF H. H. LELAND.
Herb LELAND was born March 12, 1862, at South Berwick, Maine, and passed away in the Empire Zinc Co. Hospital, Gilman, Colo., on Monday, March 18, 1935.
Herb came to Colorado in 1890 and went to work in a saw mill at Sclaeffer's Crossing. Then after a few years he went to Leadville, Colo., and worked for the Williams Lumber Co. In 1902 he came to Red Cliff to work for the Owens Lumber Co., and in 1907 went to work for the Fleming Lumber & Mercantile Co., where he was employed continuously until three years ago, when he retired.
Mr. Leland's friends will miss the familiar face that was so long among them. His closer associates will feel the absence of his kindly counsel and helping hand that was ever extended to aid a fellowman. His was a life of ruggedness blended with a with that characterized the typical successful pioneer. The deceased is survived by Mrs. Dan McINTIER, a sister; a half brother, Fred McINTIER, and a sister-in-law, Mrs. Fred McINTIER, all of South Bedwick, Me., as well as a host of local friends.
