Leader, Early Okanogan Settler, is Dead Joseph E. Leader, state and county pioneer, whose residence in Okanogan county dates back to 1891 died at the Oroville hospital at 4 o'clock Wednesday morning. Although in failing health for several years, Mr. Leader was able to conduct his business here until last month, when he went to Oroville for hospital care. Coming to Okanogan county in 1891, J. E. Leader taught school in the Methow, and shortly after took up a homestead in Pleasant Valley. Leader Lake, the present reservoir of the Pleasant Valley Irrigation & Power Company, was part of the Leader homestead. Upon disposing of that property to permit its use for storing water, Mr. Leader took an irrigated tract under the irrigation project, which he retained for several years. Later, about ten years ago, he became town clerk of Okanogan and then engaged in the haberdashery business, which he continued until his death. J. E. Leader was born July 14th, 1859, and was therefore in his sixty-second year. His birth place was West Moncton, Ont., where his aged mother, Mrs. M. A. Leader, still lives. His only child, Bert Leader, lives in Pleasant Valley. Dr. Henry T. Leader, a brother, resides at Plattsville, Ont., and a sister, Mrs. Sarah E. Phillips, is a resident of Minnesota. Other sisters live in Michigan. Dr. A. H. Jensen, a Spokane dentist, is a nephew of the deceased by marriage. In early life, Mr. Leader studied to become a physician, but did not complete a medical course. He attended a normal school at London, Ont., and later engaged in the life insurance business in Ontario. At the age of 21, he migrated to California, and spent several years in California and New Mexico. While in the south he became intimately acquainted with Milton S. Storey, who died at Winthrop last September, and the two men were life long friends. Storey and Leader came to Whatcom county and located at Sumas in 1888. Leader is said to have made and lost a small fortune at Sumas, where he was in the real estate business. Soon after coming to this state, he started the Nooksack Reporter at Nooksack, which was sold to J. Hannum Jones, one of the best known pioneer newspaper men of the state, now deceased. Continuing their friendship, Storey and Leader came to Okanogan county together in the spring of 1891 and settled in the Methow. A year or so later Leader took up his residence in Pleasant Valley. When he first came to this county Mr. Leader taught school in the Methow and later taught at various places in the county. He also served as county superintendent of schools when this county included territory now comprising Chelan and Ferry counties. He served the county at other time as deputy assessor, and was a candidate for auditor in 1910. During his city residence Mr. Leader has always taken particular interest in the welfare of Okanogan and contributed his full share in time and money to civic affairs. In war work Mr. Leader was conspicuous for his upstanding Americanism, showing his patriotism in many ways. He was one of the first to serve as a Four Minute Man. The funeral will be held this (Saturday) afternoon at the Yarwood undertaking parlors in this city at 1 o'clock. Deceased was a member of Wenatchee lodge of Elks and local brothers of that fraternity will act as pallbearers and have charge of the funeral arrangements.
