der bad conditions, was opposed by 
the better element. As a_ repre- 
sentative of this element, Mr. Leach 
was sent to Washington to oppose 
the bill. He enlisted the interest 
of Senators Sumner and Wilson, 
but nothing could prevent the pas- 
sage of the bill by Congress, until, 
through the influence of Senator 
Blair of Missouri, President John- 
son was induced to veto it. Colo- 
rado was later admitted on a bet- 
ter basis. 
Mr. Leach was a witness of much 
of the ‘““Kansas troubles” and -Bor- 
der Ruffianism of the Reconstruc- 
tion period, and was familiar with , 
the Mormon regime of that day. 
In 1866 he married Caroline E. 
Roberts, a niece of Hon. David 
Roberts, a former Mayor of Salem. 
In 1869, on account of the ill health 
of his wife and the dangerous ill- 
ness of his child, he returned East, 
to remain, permanently, with resi- 
dence at Salem. He became con- 
nected with the N. E. Felt and 
Roofing Co. of Boston, retaining his 
connection till five or six years ago. 
In Salem his active nature was 
enlisted in various public and be- 
nevolent interests. He was _ for 
many years Superintendent of Sun- 
day school, and Deacon of the First 
Baptist church, a member of the 
School Committee, and President 
of the No-License League of the 
city. He was a director of the Asi- 
atic Bank, and a trustee of the Sa- 
lem Savings Bank. He was a mem- 
ber of the Essex Institute, of the 
Old Planters. Society and of the 
Salem club. At the time of his 
death he was President of the Bap- 
tist Social Union of Boston. He 
also held positions as Trustee of es- 
tates and guardian of orphans. 
You will observe that none of 
these positions he held were greatly 
distinguished for fame or emolu- 
ment. They called for labor and 
sacrifice, but their rewards were not 
silver nor gold. None of them led 
to fortune. In his acceptance of 
them it would not appear that he 
asked the too common _ question, 
“What is there in it for me?” But 
rather, “How can I be of service to 
my fellowmen?” 
His interest in his native town 
grew with his years. All that af- 
fected her welfare was dear to his 
heart. On this soil had dwelt his 
ancestors from the earliest period. 
His Summer residence here was the 
Leach homestead, built in 1640. He 
was of the eighth generation of 
Leaches who had dwelt therein. 
His ancestor Lawrence Leach came 
with Endicott to Naumkeag in 1628. 
Another ancestor, William Allen, 
came to Cape Ann in 1623. Both 
of these old Planters were founders 
and original proprietors of Man- 
chester. 
He was active in the Historical’ 
and in the meetings of the

managed the Master Price re- 
union, and presided at the cele- 
bration of the town’s 250th an- 
niversary. He was a frequent con- 
tributor to public prints on matters 
of public interest. 
He died suddenly on the 17th of 
April, 1906, while attending a meet- 
ing of Directors at the Essex Insti- 
tute. 
“God’s finger touched him and he slept.” 
What is the lesson and the legacy 
of such a life? It is a lesson of 
citizenship, the legacy of a worthy 
example and an honorable record. 
A young man, country-bred, of 
average ability and opportunity, 
with slender equipment of health or 
wealth, handicapped by lack of 
physical vigor, hindered by busi- 
ness reverses, and further burdened 
by an invalid wife, not reaching till 
late in life a condition of pecuniary 
independence, and yet achieving 
success in the larger and _ better 
sense of that word,—an honored 
record and a useful  life—“love, 
honor, happiness and troops of 
friends.” His life was _ successful 
because founded upon moral and 
religious principles, free from the 
selfishness of greed, and the pas- 
sion for accumulation, a modest, 
busy, useful life, midway between 
poverty and wealth, without fear 
and without reproach, permitted to 
live in stirring times, and to take 
his part in them, and by the extent 
of his ability, to make the world 
better for his living. His principles 
did not desert him when he cast his 
lot in a distant community whose 
*customs and traditions were differ- 
ent, nor were his ideals lowered 
by contact with the rude pioneers 
of a new country. 
He lived to see his grandchildren 
about him, to die in the full assur- 
ance of hope without the pain of a 
lingering sickness. 
“A life to send a challenge to its end; 
And when it comes, say, Welcome, Friend.’’
