Source: The Morning Call Newspaper, Allentown, Pennsylvania Date: March 28, 1931 "Cementon Stirred By Shooting; Aged Man Wounds Son, Ends Own Life; Incensed Over Being Put In County Home." Failing in an attempt to shoot his wife and son, David H. Leibenguth, 72, turned a revolver on himself and committed suicide yesterday morning about 8:40 o'clock, outside the family residence in Cementon. Fits of temper are said to have caused members of his family to have Leibenguth sent to the county home on October 17, 1929, by court order. Resentment of this is believed to have caused the flare of anger that made Leibenguth shoot twice at his wife and son, one bullet wounding the son, and then end his own life. Leibenguth, former proprietor of the Laurel house at Cementon and a businessman of that place for a number of years; returned from the county home on Thursday night. In company with Officer Howard Kelchner, Leibenguth went to the home but found his wife and son absent. As a result Leibenguth stayed overnight with his daughter, Mrs. Archie Zellner, of Cementon. Yesterday morning he returned to his home and the son saw him coming and locked the rear door. The wife Mrs. Susan Leibenguth and the son, Albert, went to a window and Mrs. Leibenguth says she saw her husband pull an object from his pocket that turned out to be a .32 caliber revolver. Mrs. Leibenguth screamed a warning to her son as she left the window but the son was hit by a bullet that struck him in the left arm, inflicting a flesh wound. Leibenguth then tried the front door and returned to the rear of the house, the wife and son hearing the report of a shot that ended his life. Neighbors called Officer Kelchner and he found the man lying on the rear porch, shot through the head. He was rushed to the Haff hospital but died a few minutes after admission. The son, a World War veteran, received treatment there for the wound, in the fleshy portion of his arm. Leibenguth was proprietor of Laurel house, late in the nineteenth century. Prior to that he had worked in the cement-kilns about Cementon and since leaving the hotel business had conducted a grocery store and worked as a carpenter, cooper, crossing watchman, odd-job man and operated a farm. He had made periodical visits fromthe county home since becoming resident there and always went to the home accompanied by an officer, except yesterday morning. Where he secured the gun has not been established. State highway patrolmen and Coroner, Fred R. Bausch conducted an investigation together with Officer Kelchner yesterday but all agreed on a verdict of suicide. Leibenguth was born in Indianland, Northampton county, the son of Daniel and Marie, nee Buck, Leibenguth Jr. He is survived by his widow , Susan, nee Peters, Leibenguth, by a daughter, Mrs. Archie Zellner of Cementon, and a son, Albert, at home. Three sisters, Mrs. Christiana Hauser, of Allentown; Mrs. Sabina Laub, of Northampton, and Mrs. Maria Person, of Philadelphia, survive. ___________________________________

Source: The Morning Call Newspaper, Allentown, Pennsylvania Date: January 1, 1912 "Injuries Sustained In Street Brawl Brought Death To Victim." James Levan Dies at Hospital - Henry Apple His Companion Under Arrest. Unconscious since Saturday December 23rd at the Allentown hospital, James Levan of 228 North ninth street, who sustained a fracture at the base of his skull during a street brawl wit Henry Appel, of Ninth and Jackson streets, who is now in jail died yesterday morning at 9:45 o'clock. The complication that had arisen as a result of the death were altogether unexpected. Levan and Apple who were known to be boon companions, became involved in a quarrel about a chew of tobacco at Seventh and Linden streets on December 9th. Both men, it is said were somewhat under the influence of liquor and according to eye witnesses, Levan called Apple some ugly names and the latter retaliated by giving him a half push and punch that caused him to fall backward and strike his head. He lay stunned and Apple picked him up and carried him to a nearby drug store, where he was found to be suffering from lacerations and concussion of the brain. He was taken to the hospital and there seemed to grow alright again and protested stoutly against the suggestion that he bring charges against Apple. Last Saturday afternoon, however, hi condition became worse and toward evening he sank into a state of coma, in which condition he remained until his death. All during the past week his life was despaired of, though once or twice he seemed to grow better and the doctors and nurses worked hard to save him. When it was seen that Levan would probably die, Apple was taken into custody and a warrant was sworn out before Alderman Schiffert charging him with assault and battery with intent to kill and he was committed to jail in default of $1000 bail to await to result of Levan's condition. Today Chief Bernhard, with change the charge to involuntary manslaughter. Apple is 65 years of age, was a carpenter by trade. He at one time served as patrolman and many sympathize with him for he has worried greatly since the affair. Levan was 52 years of age and resided with his sister, Mrs. Samuel Flickinger, of 228 North Ninth street, where the body was taken and funeral services will be held. The deceased was the son of the late Daniel and Anna Levan and was born in Weisenberg township. He was married to Mrs. Alice Stofflet, (nee Gernert), but they had been separated for 14 years.
