Jennie Pierson Leonard, wife of Dr. H. W. Leonard of this village, passed peacefully to rest at her home on Main street, at an early hour Saturday morning. She was born at Harrison, Ind., in 1836, and married at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1856. Most of her married life has been spent in this village, where she has been loved and respected by all who were fortunate enough to make her acquaintance. For the past fifteen years she had been an invalid, suffering from dropsical and heart difficulty, and with patience and Christian fortitude has endured much suffering, many times her life being despaired of.

In 1869 she became a member of the First Presbyterian church of this village and when physically able was always a faithful attendant at church and consistent in all her religions duties. She has been a homekeeper, the central figure around whom a family of affectionate children have clustered and from whom they received much that is good which they will cherish in memory. She leaves a husband, a son and three daughters to mourn her loss.

The funeral was largely attended Monday afternoon at the home, Rev. E. N. Manley of Oakfield, her former pastor, officiating, the interment being made in the Camden cemetery.
