Leach, Samuel Danford Leach

Source:  The Barnesville [Ohio] Whetstone; Thursday, 24 Sep 1964

        A Barnesville resident, a World War II veteran, died in Barnesville Hospital Friday morning, following a horrible accident which occurred at his home 331 Harrison Ave, Thursday evening about 6:30.

         Samuel Danford Leach, 38, was a victim of a horse which he had mounted, crushing him inwardly when it reared over backwards and then rolled on him. It seemed some of the injury was caused by the saddle horn when it was pushed into his chest.

         The big spotted pony belonged to his 13-year daughter, Joyce Leach and had been purchased for her about two weeks before the accident.

         Several people gathered around the accident scene in the Leach backyard when they heard screams of children when he was crushed by the animal. It could be readily seen that he was seriously hurt and Mrs. Newton Ferguson, RN, at the Barnesville Hospital who lives nearby, rushed to the scene and gave mouth-to-mouth respiration, and also accompanied him to the hospital when the ambulance arrived. Surgeons worked on the victim in a battle to save his life, but due to inward injuries, surgery was apparently of no avail.

         A veteran of World War II and a member of Veterans of Foreign Wars, he was born in Noble County, June 10, 1926, a son of Barney and Grace Spence Leach.

         Surviving are his wife, Sarabell Montgomery Leach; two daughters, Joyce Ann and Gay Lynn, both of the home; three sisters, Mrs. Helen Wehr, Mrs. Ethel Carpenter, both of Barnesville, and Mrs. Cledith Carpenter of Calais; a brother, Jack Leach, of Barnesville, and his parents.

         Friends were received after 1 P.M. Saturday at the Campbell Funeral Home, where services were held Sunday at 2:00 P.M., the Rev. R.E. Swinehart officiating. Burial was made in Crestview Cemetery.
