John Newman Leebrick Obituary from "Cambridge City Tribune", Oct 8, 1885 and Peru, Indiana "Republican" of October 9, 1885.

John Newman Leebrick died near Sims, Howard County, Indiana September 22, 1885 at the home of his eldest daughter Mrs. Dr. Erlougher, in the 80th year of his age. He was born in Hummelstown, Pa., in 1806, was married to Matilda Fritchey, near Harrisburg, Pa.,October 2, 1828. They lived to celebrate their golden wedding, seven years ago. The dear mother died December 10, 1883. In 1837 they moved to Indiana and settled in Dublin, Wayne County, where for many years he was engaged in mercantile business. In early manhood he gave his heart to God, and for more than sixty years lived a quiet, contented, Christian life, earnest and zealous in the discharge of every duty. He rested only from his labors when his tongue was speechless and even then his hand pointed upward. Grandpa's room was the sunniest, and a place loved by all, especially the children on the way from school thought it a privilege to take his hand or have it laid in benediction upon their heads. Five children surrounded him in his last moments and ministered lovingly to every wish. Three in the far west were not able to be present. He has gone to his rest honored and respected by all who know him, loaded with years but retaining his facilities in a remarkable degree.

He has died in a good old age, mourned by those who loved him best, and blessed by those who were so often blessed and strengthened by his councils. "Blessed are the good who die in the Lord".

In the September 25,1885 issue of the Peru (Indiana) "Republican" appear two notes. The first: "Charley Leebrick and wife were called to Howard county Monday on account of the alarming illness of Charley's father. Mrs. Geo. C. Miller and Mrs. Emma Davidson, daughters of Mr. Leebrick, went also." Later on we read "John Leebrick, father of Mrs. Emma Davidson, Mrs. Geo. C. Miller and C. W. Leebrick, of this city, died at his home in Howard county Wednesday. His remains were brought to this city. The funeral will take place Friday from the residence of Geo. C. Miller."

No death or probate records found in Howard County. No death record found in Miami County.
