Six children were born to them, of whom only two are living, Mrs. Peter Howder and Charles R. Leihy, both of this city. Mrs. Leihy had been brought up in the Presbyterian Church, but following their move to Bayfield (1870) she united with the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mrs. Leihy was a devout and exempliary [sic], a kind neighbor, and very highly respected by all who knew her. The funeral was held from the house on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Christianson officiating.---Contributed. In the death of Mrs. Leihy Bayfield has lost another of those sturdy old settlers of the type which, in the pioneer days of the Harbor City, built the foundation of a thriving town. During the years Mrs. Leihy and her husband resided in Bayfield they were closely identified with every public movement which meant for progress, not alone in Bayfield, but throughout the Chequamegon Bay district. Bayfield people feel deeply the departure of the old settlers, and especially do they sorrow in the death of Mrs. Leihy for she was a good woman, beloved by all and her kindness will ever bring back tender memories to the numberless friends and relations she leaves behind.” ®10437
