Soon after Mr. Leffingwell enlisted and was in service a son was born to them, who lived three months and whom the father never saw, his loyal wife bearing bravely with him this affliction in the loss of an only son.
He was wounded in the battle of Reseca, Georgia, May 15, 1864, and was deprived of further service in Sherman';s famous march to the sea, being left in the hospital among the wounded. As a result of the close of the war he was discharged at Nashville, Ten, May 23, 1865. His record is that of a brave and efficient soldier.
In his town he had been town clerk and the holder of various offices of trust. He was a prominent member of Gibbs Post at Warsaw.
The funeral was attended at 2 p.m. from the Gainesville M. E. Church September 26th, interment in Maple Grove Cemetery. He was borne to his final resting place by his comrades of the 136th N.Y.V, with a delegation from Gibbs and other G.A.R. Posts, Comrade Rev. C. G. Stevens, officiating."
