Place, Mrs.
Leonard Place 1868-1932 Morris Obituary
Mrs.
Leonard Place Of Morris Passes Away
Morris, Aug. 10---Mrs. Leonard Place, whose home was
on the Norwich road near Morris, died Sunday morning, August 7, at 1
o'clock. For nearly 30 years Mrs. Place had suffered from mental
malady which was a source of great discomfort to her and sorrow to
her loved ones who
patiently ministered to her through the years. Mrs.
Place was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Dilworth and was born
in Morris, September 3, 1868. She was united in marriage with
Leonard Place, September 3, 1886. They were married in Otego and
there established their first home. Later Mr. Place took up the work
of boiler making and their place of residence was several times
changed. Some 25 years ago they purchased the farm on which they
lived at her death.
The one son Leslie Dudlow who was born to this home,
died in his early manhood, leaving a wife and three children. These
children, Ina Myrtle, Ivan and Eunice, were to a large extent
mothered by the deceased as best she could and they think of her as a
mother. It should be said that their own mother, who is now Mrs.
Summerville, has also been as a real daughter to her husband's
people. She with the children and the bereft husband comprise those
who bear the heavier sorrow in this separation.
The funeral was held from the house at 2 o'clock
Tuesday. Rev. C. E. Vermilya, pastor of the Methodist church, with
which she was affiliated was in charge, Rev. F. H. Leonard of the
Universalist church assisting. The burial was in the Morris
cemetery.
PS: As you will note, no where is her first name given.
Perhaps it could be found on a census report. I found the term
'mental malady' interesting.
