LEAK FAMILY CEMETERY
Surveyed by Woodford Sherrill and Jack Ingram
Approaching Rockingham from the North on U.S. #1, go passed the first traffic light (within the city limits) and turn right on Scotland Avenue. Stay on Scotland Ave. and go past three streets on right, namely Ann Street, Carolina Drive, and Cumberland Circle. When you have driven l-2 mile from U.S. #1 a "Dead End" highway sign will be on your right. At this point, the cemetery will be visable. It is about 100 feet off Scotland Ave. If approaching on Hwy #1 from the South at the First Methodist Church (in downtown Rockingham), Scotland Avenue will be the 5th street on the left.

Leak Leak Walter F. ---- 1-16-1853 Dec 29, 1902 s/o William C. & Ann P. Leak Walter F Leak, A Native of Rockingham and a prominent Citizen of Fayetteville. News was received here Monday of the death of Mr. Walter F. Leak, which occurred at Barton, GA, where he had gone in the hope of improving his health, Sunday morning His remains were taken to Fayetteville Monday night, and interred in the cemetery there Tuesday afternoon. The deceased was a son of William and Ann Leak, of this place. After their death he went to live with his aunt, Mrs. Hannah Lilly, at Fayetteville. The Fayetteville correspondent of the Raleigh post says of him: "Mr. Leak was long a prominent business man of Fayetteville first as a member of the firm Rose and Leak, and afterwards of Cape Fear Dry Goods Company. He was for years a leader in social circles, endowed with lovable personal qualities and knitting to himself many warm friends. Stalwart, athletic, fond of the sports of strong manhood, it was a surprise and shock to the community when his health broke down about two years ago; and not even the devoted care and attention of Dr. and Mrs. H. W. Lilly, whom he passed his last days until he moved South, availed to check the inroads of his fatal malady. The deceased married Miss Annie Murchison, daughter of the late Col. John R. Murchison, a gallant Confederate soldier, by whom by whom he had one child, both dying some years ago." Messrs. H.S. Ledbeter, and J.P. Leak, of Rockingham, attended the funeral at Fayetteville Tuesday. The Anglo-Saxon 02 Jan 1902, Thu, Page 3 Ledbetter William J. 1800 12-17-1857 Lilly Infant 3-28-1841 Infancy d/o E.T. & H.P.
