Following the service, which will start at 3 P. M., Burial will take place at Mountain View cemetery.Leach died at Merritt hospital yesterday morning after a sudden breakdown in health two months ago.For more than a half-century he was a prominent figure in California. Born in Auburn, N. Y., of a pioneer American family, he was brought to California as an infant by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin A. Leach. The family lived successively in San Francisco, Sacramento, Napa, Vallejo, and Oakland.Leach attended private school in Sacramento until the first public school was opened there and completed his education at the age of 17 in Napa. He became an apprentice printer and there gained the experience which enabled him to found first the Napa Daily Reporter, then the Vallejo Chronicle and finally with A. B. Nye and W. F. Burbank the Oakland Enquirer.Named To Legislature.His political career was launched in Vallejo in 1879 when he was elected to the state legislature as representative for Solano County. He served two terms and from 1882 to 1884 was postmaster of Vallejo.In 1897 he was appointed by President McKinley as superintendent of the mint in San Francisco and held that position for 10 years.During the fire which struck San Francisco in 1906, Leach achieved national recognition by providing an emergency financial system for the stricken city. The mint was the only financial institution which remained intact and bank officials turned to Leach for aid.

He suggested free telegraphic transfer of funds from the east, payable in orders on the mint. President Roosevelt named Leach treasurer and through the system he received and disbursed more than $40,000,000 in 6 weeks' time without a single loss.Leach's work following the disaster is credited with having influenced his appointment, in 1907, as director-general of United States mints with headquarters in Washington, a post he held until 1909.He resigned then to become president and manager of the People's Water Company of Oakland, serving in that capacity until October 1911 when he retired.
