Cambridge City Tribune (Cambridge City, IN) 8 July 1875. Daniel Miller, of Dublin, was prosecuted last Saturday before a jury in a civil action for being a nuisance. The suit was brought by a young man named Wm. Hartzler. The complaint was that Miller by his loud singing every morning at four o'clock, waked up everybody for a distance of two squares, thereby disturbing their rest. Mother Leebrick tried to buy Miller off with a dose of lettuce, but the old reprobate ate the lettuce and still kept up his morning howl. The trial was amusing, and resulted in a judgment against Miller for $4.40 and costs, all amounting to $20.

Monday morning she rose and dressed herself, but complained of pain in the head. A message was sent to this city and her children, Mrs. Emma Davidson, Mrs. G. C. Miller, Mr & Mrs. Charles W Leebrick who started in a carriage but before reaching her home she was dead. The funeral took place from the residence of G. C. Miller Wednesday. services by Rev. W. H. Daniel. Mrs. Leebrick was a gentle, trustful, loving, Christian mother, whose memory will be cherished.
Peru Republican 11 Oct 1878. Golden Wedding. John N Leebrick and wife celebrated their golden wedding, on Wednesday the 2d of October 1878 at the residence of their son-in-law Dr. J. M. Erlougher, six miles south of Xenia in Howard county. On this day fifty years ago, the 2nd of October 1828, were married at the residence of Mrs. Godfrey Fritchey, near Harrisburg, Pa. John N. Leebrick and Miss Rosanna Matilda Fritchey. In 1837 they moved to this state where they have resided ever since. There were present at this second wedding J. Q, A. Fritchey (a nephew) and wife of St. Louis, Mo., George C Miller and wife, Mrs. E. L. Davidson and sons, Charles Leebrick, Miss Kate Leebrick, James Powell and wife of Xenia, and the family of D. J. M. Erlougher whose wife is the eldest daughter of said aged couple. Four generations were present on the occasion, a daughter, grand daughter and great grand daughter, the latter two and a half years old. The morning of the 2nd dawned bright and cloudless. The bride was dressed with great care, a fresh white cap from the hands of the youngest daughter, the most delicate crapeless rull from Mr. Mollie Johnson, with illusion tie, a bouquet of tube roses and geranium leaves nestled among the illusion completed the extra touches to the becoming black robe. She was greeted with great applause, by all the company, and all pronounced her the sweetest looking bride of seventy, that it had been their good fortune to see. The father, who is a confirmed invalid; only able to leave his bed for a short rest in an arm chair,k was attired as appropriately s his invalid condition would admit. He too had a bouquet of tube roses and geranium leaves fastened on his shoulder. The leather trunk that accompanied them, on their bridal tour of three weeks duration strapped on the rear of a two wheeled gig, was brought in by two of the grand children Frank Erlougher and Howard Davidson. It was about two and half feet long and eighteen inches high, a marked contrast it stood to the immense saratoga's that are necessary to accompany the brides of to-day. Dr. Erloughter said as the trunk was placed in front of the bride "mother allow me in behalf of those present to present you with your trousseau." The trunk was then opened which contained the presents and among which were two handsome white figured silk handkerchiefs from James Powel to "Grand Ma and Grand Pa;" then came a beautiful silver cup gold lined and most artistically engraved with the inscription 1828 below father and then 1878, from "all the children". Then a pair of gold glasses "to mother" from "all the children." The dear mother was by this time so overcome that Mrs. Davidson stepped forward and assisted in the unpacking. Next came a box "to our dear aunt" from J. Q. A. Fritchey and wife, containing a beautiful black cashmere dress, another box "to uncle" containing three gold pieces. The father was quite overcome and wept, in fact there was a general feeling of sympathy; but the mirthful spirit of the company soon asserted itself. Mr.s Miller said "mother tr your glasses, if you can recognize my nose through them; they are good." The silver cup was filled with fresh cold water and presented to the father, and he with trembling lips said, "may you all be useful and happy; and may God's choicest blessings rest upon you all." Dinner was then served which was very inviting, and duly appreciated by all. There were present five children three being absent, Mrs. Amelia Ruby, of Rochester Mo., and Mr. Matilda Ogle, of Healdsburg, Cal, Frank E. Leebrick, of Osborn City, Kan. At half past three we bade good-bye all pronouncing it a joyous time never to be forgotten."
