Donald Wess "Donny" LEOPARD

Bethel (aka Bethel Primitive Baptist) (Quinn) Cemetery
Union County,
Arkansas

Son of Wallace & Nona Leopard
October 6, 1967 - September 23, 1969

The body of Donald Wess Leopard, 23 month old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wallace Leopard of Route 1 Louann, was found floating in a hole of water by his father Tuesday about 4:30 p.m. according to Ouachita County Coroner Jack Barger. Barger said the child apparently wandered away from home and fell into the water which was at the end of a culvert. Barger said the water was not very deep, "It was only two feet deep sat the edge," he said. The coroner estimated the hole to be 10 or 15 feet wide. The family lives at Joyce City, which is close to the Union County line. Other than his parents, the child is survived by his paternal grandmother, Mrs. C. W. Leopard of Smackover; maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Groves, El Dorado; maternal great grandmother, Mrs. Cliff McKnight of Smackover and maternal great grandfather of Strong, Don Groves. Funeral services will be by Young's Funeral Home of El Dorado. (Camden News - September 24, 1969)
