    After the death of Mr. Clark the place was rented to Michael Leek for a hundred and eighty dollars a year. He made a business of cutting and carting cord wood to Seymour, then Humphreysville. The farm comprises 80 acres and at the time of Clark's death was one of the best farms on Chestnut Tree Hill. But it has most of it grown up to wood and brush, and where were once fertile and productive fields is now a dense forest.
    Mr. Leek married Amanda Sperry of Bethany.
