He then began his teaching career at Harris Station in Limestone County, Alabama, it was there he had a student by the name of Kathleen Guthrie, whom he fell in love with and married on March 4, 1928. Leroy's beloved Kathleen died one year later only 6 days after giving birth to their daughter. Leroy no longer taught school and had help from his parents in raising his baby girl until he married a second time on March 31, 1934 to Elizabeth Hokett. Leroy and Elizabeth then had two more children, a girl and a boy. Leroy moved his family, including his first daughter to Oak Ridge, Tennessee where he worked for Atomic Energy Commission. He died in 1954 and was buried in Tanner Cemetery between his two wives. His stone was a WOODMEN OF THE WORLD stone...
