Agnes Leitch

Agnes Martha Helene (Drevlow) Leitch, 93, of Fergus Falls, died peacefully Monday, Feb. 25, 2008, at Broen Memorial Home in Fergus Falls.
She was born Sept. 19, 1914, near Long Prairie, the daughter of Otto Carl and Alvina Helene Sophia (Schmidt) Asmus. She grew up in Long Prairie Township of Todd County.
On Nov. 30, 1937, she married Hubert Friedrich Ferdinand Drevlow. Together they lived in Round Prairie Township where they farmed and raised their family. Following Hubert’s death in 1966, Agnes attended Alexandria Technical College, and moved to Fergus Falls in 1968 where she spent many years working at Lake Region Hospital. She was briefly married to Stafford Leitch.
