From THE LEIGH (NE.) WORLD, May 13, 1949-
Many friends and relatives of Leigh attended the double funeral of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Malasek at Clarkson.
Mr. and Mrs. Malasek died on May 2 and 4th, respectively, after a dreadful tragedy in their home in Bell, California, resulted in Mr. Malasek shooting his wife and then turning the weapon on himself. Relatives flew, via airplane, to take care of the funeral arrangements and, upon deciding to bring the bodies back, had them flown in by air.
Arriving at the Columbus airport, the remains were placed in charge of F. J. Miller and Son, of Clarkson.
Besides the close friends of Leigh, friends and relatives gathered there for the sad rites from all surrounding communities, who came to pay their last respects to the unfortunate couple.
Funeral services were held at the New Zion Presbyterian Church at Clarkson, Rev. B. H. Fillipi officiating at the services. Burial was in the Clarkson cemetery.
We join with the many friends and relatives in extending our sincere sympathy to the parents and other relatives in this two-fold loss of daughter and son.
