• Notes

  I knew Uncle Jewell only long after his retirement and had little contact of the sort to permit me to form any idea of his character. He died of Parkinson's disease from which he suffered for a long time. -- LKL "Death of Well Known Retired Farmer "John Jewel McLeod, age 80, well known retired farmer, passed away at Levering hospital at 6:30 Sunday evening. He had been in failing health for the last five years. "Son of John Bell and Martha Carson McLeod, he was born March 4, 1875 on a farm west of Palmyra. "On November 24, 1901 he was married to Maude Hansbrough. They made their home north of Palmyra where he was engaged in stock and dairy farming. "He united with Bethel Baptist church and was active as a deacon and Sunday school superintendent for a number of years. "Mr. McLeod was respected by all who knew him as a man of high principles.
