Mollie" Leneave Dies In Paducah
Former Citizen Of Trigg County Is Victim of Appendicitis Operation
Mr. Temolean Leneave, a former well known and popular citizen of Trigg county, but for a year past a resident of Palms, Marshall county, died at the I. C. hospital in Paducah at nine o'clock last Wednesday night.
Mr. Leneave was taken to the hospital on Monday before and underwent an operation for appendicitis. The appendix had ruptured when the operation was performed, and it was feared then that his recovery was hopeless. He lingered until Wednesday night when the summons came.
Mr. Leneave was a son of the late E. W. Leneave, of the Mershon bridge section, and grew to manhood in Trigg county.
He resided near Golden Pond for a number of years, and a few years ago, moved to Marshall county, and lived until last Summer four miles from Eggner's Ferry. He then bought property at Palma, which is on the highway between Paducah and Eggner's Ferry, fifteen miles from Paducah and had since been engaged in the garage and shop business.
He was married in 1883 to Miss Ambia Cunningham. Ten children were born to this union, all of whom are living, together with the wife. The children are: Mrs. Hugh Oakley, five miles west of Cadiz; Mrs. Cecil Ryan, of Eggner's Ferry; Mrs. Howard Pace, of Hardin; Jap W. Leneave, of near Golden Pond; W. Hodge Leneave, of Palma; Homer B. Leneave, of near Golden Pond; A. Lewis Leneave of Chicago, and the three youngest sons, Dale, Clarence and Claudius, who resided at home.
Four brothers and three sisters are also living, as follows: Dee Leneave, five miles west of Cadiz, E. T. Leneave, of Princeton; Coy Leneave, of Cloverdale, Ala,; Sam Leneave, of Paducah; Mrs. King Alexander, of near Siloam; Mrs. Carter B. Greenwood, of Mershon bridge, and Mrs. R. C. Crisp, of Cadiz.
Mr. Leneave united with the Baptist church at the age of seventeen and had been a consistent member since that time. At the time of his death he was deacon of his church at Palma and also superintendent of the Sunday school. In fact, he had belonged to a number of different congregations since joining the church as a young man, and had been an officer in all of them and very active in church work.
He was also a Mason, having held his membership with Berkley Lodge of Golden Pond for many years.
Burial took place at the grave yard at Palma near his home, Thursday afternoon at four o'clock. Funeral services were conducted by a Baptist minister of Benton.
There are few better men in all this section then "Molle" Leneave. He was not only active in his church and its work, but was a good neighbor and a splendid citizen as well. He was a king husband, a good father, devoted to his friends and neighbors, and a man who stood for things highest and best.
Hundreds of old friends in Trigg county are saddened by his untimely death and in his community it will be a long time until some one is found to fill his place.
