Died in an accident. The Benkelman Post & News Chronicle of July 18, 1924 reported it this way. "McDonald Farmer Killed". "Roy Leebrick, a well-to-do young farmer about 35 years old residing southeast of McDonald, was almost instantly killed last Thursday evening when a wagon loaded with corn passed over his body, crushing his chest. Mr. Leebrick was hauling corn and while yet in the lot, the team became frightened throwing him from the loaded wagon, the wheels pasing over his chest and death followed within a very short time.
"Mr. Leebrick was a single man. The funeral services were conducted at McDonald Sunday afternoon adn the body laid to rest in the McDonald Cemetery". My dad remarks that this account isn't completely accurate, since he was not killed in the lot but on the road to the house. He remembers sitting and watching as his Mom tried to revive him.
