Was there an obituary published for Dr Leckey Service, who died 27 February 1888, in Philadelphia? I don't see him in the index at newspapers.com or in the Google News archives, but there should be have been something for a wealthy Philadelphia doctor.
I hope to learn his his birthplace and his parents's names. I am pretty sure he is the son of John Service and Catherine McClintock, which would make him the brother of
1) Alexander Service who died 30 May 1913 in Philadelphia,
2) of Catherine (Service) Price who died 24 June 1927 in Philadelphia,
3) and of Charles M Service, who died sometime after 1900, probably in Vigo County, Indiana (Terre Haute). I'm still working on Charles.
I have a lot on Leckey after 1847, when he graduated from Jefferson Med School, but nothing before that date.
Charles, when marrying (1855, Brooke County [West] Virginia, to Sarah Laughhead) and as informant on his daughter Kate Tyner's death (Terre Haute IN, 1901), said he was born in Washington County, PA, which lines up with Catherine and her husband John Price being with his parents in Wheeling [West] Virginia, in 1850.
