Weekly Standard Newspaper, Raleigh, NC--May 25, 1859
DEATHS.--Anson county has lost, within a few days, three from among its most valuable citizens. In our last we announced the deaths of Nelson P. Liles and Nathan Beverly. And now we have to add the loss of Walter R. Leak, Esq., President of the Bank of Wadesborough, who died, after a few days illness, at Terry's Landing, Ark., on the 5th inst. He was on a visit to friends and relations in that State, and the first intination that many in North Carolina had of his death was on the arrival of his body at Wadesborough, for interment at home.
He was one of the most respected and useful and influential citizens of the Pee Dee country, whose great sagacity and excellent good sense had secured him an ample fortune without deadening this feelings to the charities of life and the calls of the religion of which he was a worthy professor. He age was about 47.--Fay. Observer
