LEMING, William
Note: I rarely "borrow" other people's work and NEVER steal it, but I was extremely curious aobut this one -- here's what I had from some old clippings that were in the family of Marsha Patterson who was so great to share
Source: Veedersburg News 17 Feb 1928 ?
Out of town people who attended the funeral of Wm. Leming were: Robert Leming of Detroit, Mich; Charles Leming and wife, Harry Leming and wife, Andrew and John Leming; Mr. and Mrs. Louis Litzenberger all of Decatur, Ill; Mr. and Mrs. Will Gebhart and family of RIdge Farm; Mr. and Mrs. Herschel Cox of Frankfort; Mrs. Faye Dotson of Indianapolis; Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Drollinger and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hepler of Danville; Mr. and Mrs. Manford Songer of Covington.
Okay, now the problem was I only find one Wm. Leming from Fountain County and according to the findagrave.com (obituary from there) he died Feb 11, 1926 vs. 1928 -- so, I'm still confused as to whether there were two (doubt that since Feb and the Veedersburg News I took the short funeral announcement from above is clearly 1928 - since there's no picture of his grave at Bonebrake, perhaps I'm right that there is one and 1928 not 1926 is when he died :) ANYONE KNOW, let me know
