Yeff Leonard of Willow street, Red Bank, died suddenly last Saturday morning from the bursting of a blood vessel. He was nursing Shepperd Kollock, who is an invalid, and was lifting him when the blood vessel burst and he died shortly afterward.

Mr. Leonard was born at Holmdel and was nearly seventy yeas old. He leaves three sons and two daughters, all of whom are married. He had lived in this part of Monmouth county all his life, and had been connected with the Baptist church for many years. He was one of the deacons of Calvary Baptist church at the time of his death. He was a man who enjoyed a wide respect, and Calvary church on Monday afternoon, when the funeral was held, was completely filled. The deacons of the church acted as bearers and the body was buried at White Ridge cemetery at Eatontown. The pulpit and the deacon's chair occupied by Mr. Leonard in Calvary church will be draped in mourning for thirty days.
