Bio

Co. F, 164th Ohio Infantry, and Co. D, 80th Ohio Infantry, Civil War. His parents removed to Kansas. Leckey is buried with his grandmother. ........................ Died, in this city, March 12th. of consumption, LECKEY R. HARPER, aged 22 years and 10 months. The deceased was a young man of rare endowments, having during his brief residence among us, very greatly endeared himself to all whom he had become acquainted with, and his early death is a severe blow upon his parents, sisters and other relatives and friends. In 1864, although then almost a stranger among us, young Harper volunteered as a substitute for J. Park Alexander, in Co. A, Ohio National Guard for one hundred days' service, under the call of Gov. Brough, and as will be seen, by the resolutions of the Company, published elsewhere, he nobly performed his duties as a soldier.. His funeral on Thursday, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather was a attended, at the residence of his father on Medina st. by a large concourse of sympathizing friends, his remains, enfolded by the Stars and Stripes, being escorted to the cemetery by his fellow soldiers in full uniform.
