ALBERT T. LEACH, M. D. V. 
Dr. Albert T. Leach died at the home of his parents, in 
Somerville, Tenn., on Tuesday, May 21, 1912, after a year’s ill¬ 
ness. Dr. Leach was born in Somerville, Tenn., December 21. 
1881, and was educated in the public school of that place, and 
the Branhamard Hughes school of Spring Hill, Tenn. He was 
graduated from the McKillip Veterinary College in 1909 after a 
three years’ course of studies in that institution, receiving the de¬ 
gree of doctor of veterinary medicine (M. D. V.). His home 
life was the best, his love and consideration for mother and sis¬ 
ters beautiful. This kind trait in his character, and his ability 
as a veterinarian, was fast building for him a place high up in 
his profession, when ill health overtook him and resulted in his 
untimely death at the age of 30 years. He is survived by a 
father, mother, two sisters and six brothers.

March 25, 1886, but at an early age came to West Winfield,

uating from the West Winfield High School in June, 1907. He 
entered the New York State Veterinary College at Cornell Uni¬ 
versity, the fall of the same year, from which institution he 
graduated in June, 1910. On receiving his degree in veterinary 
medicine, he went to Gowanda, N. Y., to take charge of the 
practice of Dr. J. V. Hills of that place, during his absence 
abroad. Dr. Fairchild came to Bergen, N. Y., in September,
