An abbreviated Report on funeral of John Leathley 1844-1909.
The remains of the late Rev. John Leathley, superintendent minister at Union Street Wesleyan Chapel, Rochdale. who died at his residence 47 Falinge Rd. on Sat. morning [20.3.1909]were interred at Undercliffe Cemetery Bradford on Wed. afternoon.[24.3.1909]. When the cortege left his residence most of the houses in Falinge Rd & Sheriff St. had drawn blinds. At the chapel a large congregation had assembled and the front of the pulpit and the communion were draped in black. An impressive address was given by Rev. Leathley’s friend the Rev. Joseph Robinson. They had met as students in Richmond college 40 years previously. he described his friend as “good as gold and true as steel, as a friend he was frank, faithful, affable, sincere, confiding and utterly trustworthy.”
He added “He was trustful and cheerful and hopeful, he was a man of prayer. — He lived in prayer and made everything a subject of prayer.” He went on “He loved little children, and many of the children of this town and others would that day mourn the loss of a most cheerful and sympathetic friend.”
As a preacher his method was always truly evangelical. he delivered his message with a magnificence which reached every part of the largest building, and that voice stood him in excellent stead. he had preached in the open air to thousands of people, and held them spellbound by his far reaching voice.
John Leathley as a husband was most devoted, most affectionate and ardent in his attention to his beloved wife. As a Father he was fond, loving, generous and judicious. His eldest daughter was engaged in mission work in the Far East.
After the service the procession went to Rochdale railway station. A large group walked before the hearse and 15 carriages came after. On arriving at the station the majority of those taking part in the procession went on to the platform to witness the departure of the mourners and others, and just prior to the train steaming out of the station, the choir sang “Rock of Ages”. The scene was a very affecting one.
On arrival at Bradford the mourners and various representatives and deputations who had made the journey were met by other relatives and friends. In all 18 coaches were required. A service was held at Eastbrook Hall, Bradford. which place was a chapel when John Leathley was a young man. The proceedings ended with committal at Undercliffe Cemetery.
