source:  Semi-Weekly News: 29 September 1896, Vol. 12, No. 79


Bellville.  The first Leedy reunion was held Sept. 23 in Frank Garber's grove four miles south of town where the first Leedy ax was struck in 1811 by John Leedy, who afterwards kept hotel in Bellville.  He was a descendant of the first Abraham Leedy who came to this country from Switzerland more than a century before.  There were about 600 descendants of the number which are scattered over the United States.  John Leedy, who is at present running for governor of Kansas, is a grandson of the first John Leedy.
