Proserpine Guardian (Qld. : 1935 - 1954), Saturday 11 January 1941, page 2. <ref> https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/227406753 </ref> Death of William Leeson. Mr. Fred Leeson, son of Mr. W. Leeson, advised Mr. S. Salsbury by telegram yesterday, that his father (Mr. W. Leeson) had passed away in Brisbane on Thursday night. The late Mr. Leeson has been a resident of Proserpine for a good many years, and at one time was farming in the Foxdale district. He later disposed of his farming interests and then came to town, living in retirement in Telia Street. He has complained for some time of not feeling well and spent a few weeks in the Proserpine Hospital and it was just prior to Christmas that he was taken to Brisbane for further medi-cal attention. The late Mr. Leeson was a true patriot, he was one of those who in Ihe early stages of the war, loaned the Commonwealth Government a sum of money, free of interest for the duration of the war.
