dz This 1950 Minetas to Leechburg in respect- ful gratitude to our forefathers who founded the town and established it as a borough in 1850 and to the present day citizens who work so tirelessly to overcome obstacles in the way of prosperity. In reviewing the years that have elapsed since its birth as an incorporated borough, we see that Leechburg has grown from a sparsely popu- lated hamlet to a thriving typical small town. The old Pennsylvania canal has given Way to highwaysg the Diesel engine is piloting trains along the Kiskiminetas River instead of the old- fashioned steam engine that traveled through the Old Tunnel in days gone byg from a farming community we have become industralized through the introduction of the Allegheny Lud- lum Steel Millg and from the first small building that was Hebron Lutheran Church at the inter- section of Second Street and Center Avenue we now see the most modern church erected in Leechburg, St. Catherine of Alexandria Roman Catholic Church on Logan Avenue. Truly over these one hundred years our town has grown up to become a community worthy of its founders. Named for David Leech. Leechburg stands on a pinnacle among small towns in our modern World. Perseverance is the password of its citizens. Nothing daunting them, they work and fight relentlessly for improvement both materially and spiritually, The townspeople of this twentieth century have proudly accepted the heritage of Leech- burg's past citizens and have carried on their work to make a bigger and better Leechburg. If you of the 1800's could see in your steroscope the progress and continual development of the town whose foundations you helped build, you could well be proud of your sons and daughters -the boosters of today.
