  Death of a Well Known Citizen
  William Leaf died on Friday afternoon, at the residence of his son, Henry P 
  Leaf, in Upper Pottsgrove, aged 71years, 9 months and 2 days.  He had been ill 
  for some time past, with a complication of diseases, resulting from general 
  dibility, advanced age and hemorrhage, which caused inanition and terminated 
  his life.  He leaves one son, with whom he resided for a number of years 
  past.  He was a member of a well known family of nine or ten brothers and 
  sister, of whom one only survives, Rev. Edmund Leaf, rector of St Michael's 
  Episcopal Church, Birdsboro.  He organized and stocked the Fifth and Sixth 
  Street Passenger Railway, of Philadelphia; the Georgetown and Washington 
  Passenger Railway, Washington, DC, and was Superintendent for some time of 
  both these lines.  He was also Superintendent for a number of years of the 
  Orange and Newark Passenger Railway, at Newark, NJ.  He possessed a wide 
  acquaintanceship, had hosts of warm friends, who esteemed him for many 
  excellent qualities of head and heart.
