Grew to womanhood in Rochester, Ind, and attended the city schools there.

"Mrs. Charles Leibrick of Long Beach, Calif., Mrs. Ella Miller and Miss Katie Leibrick of Peru, Ind., spent the weekend here greeting old friends. They were former residents of Dublin but had not been here for several years."--30 Sep 1920, Paladium-Item (Richmond IN)

"Elmira Alice Leebrick

Date 08 SEP 1924
Source: Press-Telegram
ABSTRACT Died Sept. 6, 1924 at 520 W. 1st St., aged 68. Survived by husband Chas. W. Leebrick; sons Chas. W., Jr. of Los Angeles and Robt. J. of Long Beach; sisters Mrs. Vida J. Cornelius and Mrs. D.A. Hauk. Interment in Sunnyside.

FYI - The newspaper obit abstract states 'Interment in Sunnyside'. However, her death certificate states 'Crematory Long Beach Cal'. Her husband's memorial shows 'Cremated, location of ashes unknown'. Most likely cremation took place at Sunnyside Mausoleum since the Long Beach Crematory moved from the original Sunnyside Cemetery around 1923 to the new mausoleum site at Wilton and Grant. Interesting to note residents around the "new" crematory protested it moving there (Long Beach Press 12/26/1923). However, since the site was outside the city limits when it was established and built, the lawsuit was dismissed. Also interesting to note that the first wing of the Mausoleum (the West Wing) didn't open until 1925.
Since caretakers at Sunnyside Cemetery on Willow can find no record of her burial, assume she is at what is now Forest Lawn Memorial Park."--Find-a-grave

Moved to Rochester, Fulton County, Indiana in 1852, where they lived until his death.

"Robert "Uncle Bob" WALLACE died Wednesday night, after ailing for several months with a combination of colds, rheumatism, etc. incident to old age, and death was not unexpected.
He was one of the best known men in northern Indiana until his declining years induced him to seek the seclusion of a home on his fruit farm just northeast of town, and then he was not forgotten, for the imprint of his indomitable will and sturdy character, derived from his Scotch ancestry, will always remain plainly written upon the pages of Fulton county history.
He was born in Scotland in 1828, and traced his lineage definitely back to the BRUCEs and WALLACEs of Scottish fame. He came to America in 1834 and settled in Oneida county, New York, where he remained until 1840, when he came to Fulton county and settled on a farm near Kewanna. In 1854 he moved to Rochester and entered the mercantile business, and in 1857 he erected the building which, in 1869, was remodeled and converted into what was then the finest and best equipped hotel in northern Indiana. He remained in the hotel business until 1888, when he leased his building and sought rest from a long life of arduous labor on a little farm, which it was his delight, aided by his wife, to convert into a beautiful fruit farm. There he remained in peace and comfort with his fruit, and chickens, and bees, until about two weeks ago, when he and his wife decided to live with their daughter, Mrs. Fred H. [Vida J. WALLACE] CORNELIUS, during the winter, and where he died late yesterday afternoon.
He married Elmira SHAFER at Kewanna in 1848, who survives him. Born to them five children: Mary C. and John [WALLACE], who preceded the father in death, and Mrs. D. A. HAUK, of Canon City, Colorado, Mrs. Chas. LEEBRICK, of Peru, and Mrs. Fred H. CORNELIUS, of this city.
Member Presbyterian church; life long democrat "of the old school."
Funeral will be at the Cornelius home Saturday afternoon 2:30; Rev. MOORE"
