Rev. H.C. Richardson of the Universalist church officiated and the remains were laid to rest in Linwood cemetery. His death in Idaho was almost tragic. While returning from a post office several miles away he became lost in a snowstorm. He wandered about until unconscious and the next day was discovered. After lingering for a day he died of congestion of the lungs. Willis Samuel LeGro was born at Grand DeTour, Illinois, October 7, 1857, and died at St. Mary's, Idaho, April 15, 1904. At the age of 10 he moved to Boonesboro with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. I.F. LeGro. He grew to manhood here, receiving his education in the public schools of Boonesboro. He was married in 1885 to Miss Jennie Freeland at Asherville, Kansas. Mrs. LeGro died October 20, 1888. To them were born two children, one dying in infancy; the other, Maude Belle LeGro who is now living with relatives at Independence, Oklahoma. Aside from the aged parents, three sisters remain to mourn his death. They are Mrs. Mary Green of Madrid, Mrs. Belle Hull of this city and Miss Anna LeGro, a teacher in the public schools. Willis LeGro was a druggist in Boonsboro for some time and three years ago went to work for Kroetch Brothers, lumber merchants, at Grand Island, Nebraska, where he remained until the burning of the yard threw him out of employment. He had previously taken up a timber claim in Idaho and moved to St. Mary's where he was waiting for the final papers from the government, expecting to come home on a visit as soon as he had secured his title to the land.
