Dr Alfred M. Leonard passed away December 13th in the hospital at Ogdensburg at the age of sixty years. To the old-time residents of Camden Mr. Leonard will be well remembered.

Frisbie and Mrs. Ella M. Conant on Main street, and only a few years ago the buildings were razed. The son, subject of this sketch, became a physician too, specializing usually on the eyes. As an optical specialist he had attained considerable success and prominence, when is health failed. He had then been located in Cicero for many years, and went from there to the hospital at Ogdensburg.
