Funeral services were held on Dec. 26,
1981 for James S. Leo at St. Thomas Catholic Church at Harlem, Mt., with Fr.
Harrington of Havre and Fr. Boyle of Harlem officiating. Following the services, military graveside rites
and interment were conducted at the
Harlem Cemetery.
Jim was born on Jan. 31, 1921, to Sam
and Elodie Leo at Zurich, Mt. His parents preceded him in death. His early years were spent in the Harlem and
Zurich areas and he remained here most of his life. In June 1942 he enlisted in the United States
Army Air Force. He was an Aircraft
Mechanic until his discharge in December 1945.
Upon his return to the Harlem area he was employed by the Great Northern
Railroad for about 10 years along with his father Sam and all his
brothers. He then worked as bartender
and manager of the local V.F.W. Club for 15 years. The past eight years he was employed by the
State of Montana as manager of the State Liquor Store.
On August 17, 1959, Jim was united in
marriage to the former Dorothy Goodheart and assumed
the responsibility of raising her five children from a former marriage.
Jim's favorite activities were bowling,
bingo, playing cards with his friends and relatives; and just being with his
family, friends and relatives.
Jim entered the intensive care unit at
Northern Montana Hospital on October 3, 1981, suffering from his long illness,
the effects of a collapsed lung and emphysema.
He remained in the intensive care unit until his death on Dec. 22,
1981. In spite of the seriousness of his
illness, he always had a smile and extended hand to his family and friends and
relatives. He remained in high spirits
until called to join the Lord.
The most important things in Jim's life
were his home, family, and his work. It
was this aspect of Jim's life that is so deeply appreciated by the five
children he helped his wife Dorothy raise to adulthood. This made Jim so proud of all of them. He will be missed so much by all.
Jim is survived by his wife, Dorothy;
six brothers, Frank Leo of Chinook, Raymond, Christopher, Pete, Melvin and

in weekend crashes
Youth dies
as car hits
house
An 18-year-old man died early Sunday when he
failed to stop his car at a dead end and crashed through the wall of a
one-story Northeastside home.
The accident occurred about 3 a.m. as
John M. Lucas, Brookhaven Drive, Lawrence, was driving on Mark Lane and arrived
at its dead end at East 55th Place, police said.
The auto crossed 55th Place, brushed a
utility pole and crashed into the home of Harold W. Toombs, 40, 6240 East 55th
Place, according to investigators.
Toombs said the car hit the house
between the den and a bedroom where his 16-year-old son, Gregory, was
sleeping. It stopped two or three feet
from the youth's bed.
Shrubbery uprooted from in front of the
house was pushed inside the bedroom, and a desk in the room was shoved against
the bed. The Toombs youth was not
injured.
Lucas suffered massive head injuries
and a broken neck and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Girl dies
from injuries in
accident
By WILLIE WOFFORD
C-T Staff Writer
A Gas City girl who suffered a broken
leg in an auto accident in Marion March 14, died during surgery Monday at
Marion General Hospital.
Penny E. McNutt, 13, 802 E.N.
"D" St., Gas City, died at about 5 p.m. from massive blood clots in
her lungs, David Devine, Grant County Coroner, ruled.
Devine said the blood clots were caused
by the accident. They were not detected
until doctors were operating on the girl's upper right leg, he said.
Devine said it is not unusual for blood
clots to form when a person sustains a broken leg. "Not on a long bone fracture," he
said.
Blood clots can develop from immobility
because of a fracture, Devine said.
"When you start moving, the blood clots circulate up the vascular
system. This is one of the things that's
so dangerous about a long bone fracture."
Devine said Miss McNutt died about two
hours after doctors started operating on her.
About 45 minutes into the operation, doctors tried to revive her and
continued for 1 1/2 hours, he said.
Miss McNutt was a passenger in a car
driven by Richard W. Bosworth, 17, 809 E.N. "F" St., Gas City.
Bosworth, who was driving southbound on
Nebraska Street at a high rate of speed, lost control of the car and crashed
into a parked car at 3404 S. Nebraska St., police said. He was pinned in the car and freed by rescue
workers at the Marion Fire Department.
Bosworth was hospitalized for chest
injuries and released recently. He has
been charged with driving under the influence in Marion City Court. A charge of criminal recklessness is pending
against him in Grant County Juvenile Court.
Another passenger in the car, Gordon L.
Purvis, 17, 721 Eastmont Drive, Gas City, complained
of shoulder pain, police said. He was
treated at the hospital and later released.
Shawn R. Voland,
13, 2710 S. "J" St., Gas City, suffered a broken leg in the
accident. She was in satisfactory
condition Tuesday night.
Marsha Englehart,
14, 1107 W. 10th St., Marion, was the fourth passenger in the car, but she was
not injured.
Miss McNutt's grandmother, Leona
Cummings, 928 E.N. "D" St., Gas City, said Miss McNutt wanted to
visit a friend in Upland when she, Miss Voland and
Miss Englehart got in the car with Bosworth and
Purvis.
However, the teen-agers came to Marion
instead of driving to Upland. The
details which led to the accident were under investigation Tuesday by the
Marion Police Department.
Miss McNutt's death is the first
traffic related death in Marion this year.
Eight traffic fatalities have occurred in Grant County this year.

injuries received in an auto accident March 14.
Miss McNutt was a eighth grade student

Mr. Schindler suffered a broken back
and underwent surgery the same day. An
