D. Spaon in Asheboro. In Nov. 1916, while -visiting his daughter Mrs. L. A. Tyson at Harpers Cross Roads he had. a light stroke of paralysis from which he never recov ered. Two weeks ago he ha-d the sec ond stroke, failing very rapidly until his death, Mr. Leonard was bom in Guilford county September 25th, 1836. Re mo-yed to Randolph county in 1847 lo cating at Cedar Falls where he was foreman of the wea-ving room of the Cedar Falls Manufacturing Co., for more than thirty years, giving the best of his life to this enterprise. In 1862 Mr. Leonard was married to Miss Nan- cy_ J. Campbell, to this union seven children were born, only two of whom survive: Mrs. W, D. Spoon, of Ashe boro; and Mrs. L. A. Tyson, of Har pers Cross Roads in Chatham county. Mr. Leonard moved his family to Kemps Mills in 1^86 where he lived until the.death of liis wife in 1904 when he came to Asheboro to rer''’" with his daughter. Mr Leonard many fnends in the county, ha-v won them by his quiet-unassum manner and his cordial and frier feeling for his fellowman. Fur.i"val was conducted by Rev. R, E, Vip] man at Union Grove after which terment followed. ing up and marching by the mess ta ble to be served, each squad which consists of eight men, commanded by a corporal is seated. The cor poral is supposed to sit at the head of the table and look digni fied like father did back home and in some cases ask the blessing. Suffici ent food for each squad is brought in by men detailed in the kitchen, and placed on the table before the men, as it is at home, and usually after a hard days’ drilling the men usually consume all of this wholesome food. _ Some few weeks ago the entire 30th division was placed under quarantine. Therefore the soldiers were compelled to spend this beautiful Thanksgi-ving day in the camp limits.' Our boys are out to take what comes with a smile, and to do their duty even if it does go a little hard at times. The fathers and mothers back home in old Ran dolph ought to be proud of their sonc, because they are soldiers, soldiers and gentlemen in every sense of the word. Company K has been in the service of the United States since July 25th, 1917, almost five months and it has not yet been necessary for the com manding officer to send a man to the guard house. This is a very, very unusual record because it is indeed an easy job to get Irnded in this little house for a few hours. But as I have stated before our boys are real sol diers. "Visitors from several counties have been down to see their sons, and some of them spent several nights in camp. The boys appreciate these visits, and are willing at anytime to share their blankets with their friends from home. Measles and pneumonia have kept the medical officers on the go both night and day for the past few weeks, but at last after much hard work "tiie dmsion has surrendered to the medical officers, K company has been very husky. None of our boy^ have died, some of them have been seriously ill but they are recovering as fast as could be expected and will soon be back with their friends in the dear old com pany.
