Camden, Jan. 17.—Last evening the remains of Dr. Henry W. Leonard, for nearly a half century a prominent and well known physician of this city, arrived in town from New York, in which city he died on Monday evening. The news of his death was received with much regret by bis many friends, and by his demise this community loses another of its most respected residents and skilled physicians. Dr. Leonard's health had been failing for a number of years and especially for the past year. Owing to his condition, in December, he decided to take up his residence in New York city with the hope that the change would be beneficial to his health, but instead he has gradually failed until the end.
Henry William Leonard was born in Preston, Herkimer county, Dec. 20, 1828, and later moved with his parents to Central Square, where his father was a preacher and where deceased was reared. His academic education was received in the public school a t Central Square and at the Belleville Academy. His medical study was commenced In Rochester, where he studied with an uncle, and subsequently he took a course of medical lectures in Cincinnati, Ohio. In Cincinnati in April, 1850, he married Miss Jennie Pierson, an estimable lady, who died Sept. 13, 1890. Dr. Leonard came to this locality and commenced practice in the village of Florence in 1858. During the war of the rebellion he received an appointment as surgeon, and his service then had much to do in developing his natural surgical ability, for which he had a well deserved reputation throughout this portion of the country. After returning from the war he continued practice in Florence until t h e fall of 1869, when he moved to Camden, and until a year or two ago had carried on an extensive and successful practice. There are perhaps few men in Camden that are as widely and well-known as the deceased. He was a member of Philanthropic Lodge, F. & A. M., of this village, and had been a prominent Mason for many years. Earlier in life he was a member of the First Presbyterian church of this village, and later became an Episcopalian. He leaves, four children; Mrs. R. D. Moxley, Misses Elizabeth and Jennie Leonard of New York city and Dr Alfred M. Leonard of Cicero. The funeral was held this afternoon from his late home on Main street, Rev. A. E Dunham of the Trinity Episcopal church and Rev. E. N. Manley officiating. Interment was made in the family plot in Forest Park cemetery.
