Obituary: Tualatin Valley News, May 11, 1917 H. D. Leo Dies in Portland Hosptial
H. D. Leo, for many years a resident of Sherwood, died Wednesday morning in a Portland hospital, following an operation for stomach trouble. The exact cause of death is not as yet known, but attending physicians gave out the information that the entire digestive tract had been affected. The body was brought to Sherwood Wednesday evening for embalming.
Mr. Leo has no known relatives in this section of the country and friends are now trying to locate relatives he has spoken of as living somewhere in the east. Since coming to Sherwood he has lived the life of a recluse, and his living rooms in his building at the corner of Railroad and Mains streets have never been visited but by perhaps two or three persons. Of a mechanical turn of mind, it was generally supposed that his aversion to visitors was prompted by a desire to keep inventions which people thought he was working upon a secret. Since his death, officers have opened the place and nothing of this sort was there.
Mr. Leo was an employee of the S. P. Railroad for many years and was at the time of death a retired pensioned employee. He has amassed a fortune of anywhere from thirty to fifty thousand dollars, according to estimates of his friends here.
Definite disposition of the body will not be made until word is received from relatives or every means exhausted in trying to locate them.
