ness for himself, supplying steamboats 
on the river, a thriving business in 
those days. When the war broke out 
the business went to pieces. 
He was an active participant in 
rescuing St. Louis and the State for 
the union. His health having failed 
he came East shortly after that. 
He remained here about a year and 
a half and then went to Denver, where 
he was connected with the house of 
Tappan & Co. He was active in the 
political movements of the new State. 
For two years he was a member of 
the territorial council (senate) and 
served as president. He was in the 
Colorado senate when the vote was 
passed to make Colorado a_ State. 
Owing tothe corruption of the vote he 
went to Washington to oppose the 
bill, and succeeded, with Sumner and 
others, in stopping it. After he left 
the adverse vote was reconsidered and 
the bill was passed. Mr. Leach had 
left his facts and figures with Frank 
P. Blair, then senator from Missouri, 
and Mr. Blair presented them to Pres- 
ident Andrew Johnson, who made 
them the basis of his veto of the bill. 
Mr. Leach’s home affiliations have 
always been strong and at the death 
of his mother in 1889 he purchased of 
the heirs the homestead, which he 
has since occupied as a summer home. 
He lived in Salem winters. He has 
always been deeply interested in the 
affairs of the town, especially in the 
old church, though he was a Baptist 
himself. He was a conspicuous 
worker at the time Dea. Price’s pupils 
had their reunion. His relations to 
the 250th anniversary in 1895 was in 
the capacity of chairman of the day, 
and he made an address. 
He always maintained a deep in- 
terest in the Historical society and 
the Elder Bretheren, and its success 
has been largely through his efforts. 
He was a man of genial ways socially 
and very affable. He always made 
friends wherever he went. 
He leaves a brother, Samuel Leach 
in Denver, Col., a half sister, Miss 
Susan Leach, and a half brother, Geo. 
Forster Allen, both of this town, also 
two sons, Henry R. of Salem, and 
Osborne of Manchester.
