Nights are gloomy by the lamp

Something missing from the room
It is our dear son Russell
Gone and left us to remain.

We seem to hear his footsteps
But it is only a dream
For he is sweetly sleeping
Far from earth's sorrow and care.

Russell is gone but not
forgotten
Never will his memory fade
Sweetest thought shall ever
linger
Around the grave where he is laid.
.
Yes we know you had pain and
sorrow
While on earth with us you stayed
But know all this is over
Since your trip o'er Gordon's made.
.
Many friends speak words of
comfort
Speak of good deeds you have done
And we often talk together
Of the happiness we had.

Growing day and day more frail
Bearing sweetly all his

LEIBFARTHS FATALLY
INJURED IN ACCIDENT
SOUTH OF WEST BRANCH
Two Ashland men on their way to a
hunting trip in northern Michigan met death immediately following an automobile
accident one-fourth mile south of West Branch, Mich., at 12:48 p.m. yesterday.
H. A. Leibfarth,
49, prominent jeweler and businessman in Ashland for 16 years, and his son,
Hubert T., 23, were traveling north on Route 76, approximately 300 miles from
home. Their destination was the family
lodge near Goulais River, just off Goulais Bay, 35 miles north of Saulte
Ste. Marie.
The accident occurred after their car,
which was being driven by young Leibfarth, moved off
the highway on the right shoulder and skidded on the berm. In an attempt to pull the car back onto the
highway, the Ashland youth made a sharp left turn. Re-entering the highway, he was unable to
keep the vehicle in the right lane and struck a County Highway truck which was
traveling south on Route 76.
The Leibfarth
car caught fire after the collision and was totally demolished. A passenger in another car, which had been
following the two Ashland men along the highway, stopped at the scene of the
accident and pulled the youth and his father from the burning vehicle. H.A. Leibarth died
sometime during the accident, and his son passed away moments after he was
pulled from the flames. Both suffered
fatal head injuries.
The driver of the County Highway truck
was William J. Goucher of Selkirk, near West Branch,
who suffered chest, head and hip injuries and is being treated at a West Branch
hospital. A passenger in the truck,
Floyd Pray of West Branch, remains in critical condition in the West Branch
General hospital.
Michigan State Police from the West
Branch post arrived at the scene of the accident shortly after it
occurred. West Branch is located in Gemaw county, Michigan.
The Leibfarths' Goulais-River
lodge is approximately 550 miles from Ashland.
Mr. Leibfarth
resided at 47 Samaritan avenue. He was
born October 9, 1901 in Lewisville, Ohio, the son of Christopher and Louise Matz Leibfarth and had been
proprietor of the Leibfarth Jewelry store here for
the past 16 years.
He was married June 25, 1924 to Reah Turner, who is his only survivor. He was a member of the Methodist church,
Ashland Lodge 151, F. and A.M. Scioto Consistery, Al
Koran Shrine in Cleveland and the Ashland Shrine club.
Hubert T. Leibfarth
was also a member of the First Methodist church, Ashland Lodge 151, F. and A.M.
Scioto Consistery, Al Koran Shrine of Cleveland and
the Ashland Shrine club and also of the American Legion. He was born in Woodsfield, Ohio January 23,
1927, son of Hubert A. and Reah Turner Leibfarth, being 23 years of age. He was associated with his father in the
jewelry business. His only survivors are
his mother and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W.F. Turner of West Salem. Hubert was a graduate of Ashland high school
and of Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla.
He served for 19 months in the U.S. Navy during World War II.

.
My God, we ask only this of
thee,
That Thou wilt keep us company
And guide our aged steps
aright
Through the fast and fleeting night.
We go not like the quarry
slave,
But with loving trust, approach our
grave,
And lie us down to pleasant
dreams
In heaven's mountains and its streams.
We've traveled long in faith
sublime
Through misty corridors of time,
And now at last we see the
peace
That Thou and Heaven, so surely lease.
Submitter's Note: Winnie had a sister Mamie Schell so it
may be possible that this niece could have been her daughter, and that the
spelling should have been SCHELL instead of SCHNELL.
