Leo was the youngest son of Jim and Mary McCart and was born on March 5, 1879. He was baptized at St. John the Evangelist and his godparents were his cousin John Clarke of Philadelphia and Margaret Brown.
Young Leo was a short, thin man and had light brown hair that he parted in the middle with blue eyes and always dressed in fashionable suits and caps. He had a disabled leg that caused him to walk with a limp. His club foot made him ineligible for military service during World War I. He never married and after his father died he lived in boarding homes in East Baltimore. In both 1920 and 1930, Leo lived as a boarder with the Charles and Sabina Fifer family at 1820 Bethal Street according to the U.S. Census records. He was working as a shoemaker in a shoe factory. Leo was very close to his sisters Mary and Eva. Leo died on August 5, 1933 at the age of 54. His funeral was at the home of his sister Mary Hanshaw and was buried at the McCart family lot at the old Holy Cross Cemetery on August 8th.
