Son of Henry Leader & Sophia Carmack of Bedford, PA.
Nathan served in the Civil War Soldier, Union, 12th Regiment, Michigan Infantry. A painter by trade, Nathan's 1st wife was Marie Soule of Canada, children were Coralyn E., Clarene Percy, & M. Walton Leader (Texas landscape artist). Marie died in 1889, Nathan remarried to Nellie Huddleston in 1894 & they had Ralph C. Leader, Sr. Nellie died when Ralph was only 4. Cemetery records indicate Nellie in buried in the Leader plot, however, her grave is unmarked.
Family history gives an account that sometime after Nellie's death, Nathan took Walton and Ralph to travel with the circus/carnival. On the 1920 Census, Ralph Sr is found listed as a carnie, and when he took me to the circus as a little girl, he introduced the "snake lady" to me as his 1st wife - so I guess Nathan really did run off and join the circus!
