George Leeson?/b?, of the little band of old timers in the city, died this morning at 2 o'clock. For the last three or four years Mr. Leeson has suffered in health and when the end came he passed away painlessly in his sleep. He was 68 years of age.
The deceased gentleman has been in bed ever since the month of December of last year. The funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Masonic body.
George K. Leeson came to Manitoba in 1880, afterwards coming west and engaging in the mail service, contracting to carry the mails from Qu-Apelle to Prince Albert, Swift Current, Battleford, Calgary, Edmonton and all western points which in those days was no small undertaking. Some years later Mr. Leeson moved to Calgary, where he has been one of Alberta's active business men and had always found among her most progressive citizens. He has been engaged in general merchandising, railroad contracting and many other speculations. He was the owner of large ranching interests at Morley, on the main line of the C.P.R., and has large property holdings in Calgary and other towns in the northwest. There were few men, if any, who had greater interests in Alberta than Mr. Leeson and there was no man in the Canadian northwest who had more friends. His successful business career was marked by honorable and upright dealings with his fellow man, and in the community where he lived there was non more respected or better liked.
He leaves a wife and a family of three. One daughter, Eileen, and a son, reside at home and another daughter, Mrs. M. Buchanan, lives at Winnipeg but was at her father's bedside when he passed away.
