Notes - State Historical Company, The History of Taylor County; State Historical Company, 1881; Unigraphic Inc. Evansville, Ind. c. 1975 (Unigraphic Inc.), ABBR The History of Taylor County, Iowa 1881TEXT Leonard, D., farmer and stock raiser, section 10, post office Corning, was born June 24th, 1830, in Washington County, Pennsylvania. He was raised on a farm and received his education in the subscription schools. In the spring of 1854 he moved to Delaware County, Ohio, and after a residence there of about 18 months started west by team, arriving in this county in September of 1856. The following spring he moved to his present farm. At that time his nearest neighbor on the west was four miles, and on the north twelve miles. He was married in the spring of 1855 to Miss Jane Heath, of Delaware County, Ohio. Of their children, seven are living: William, Guy, Charlie, Arthur, Harry, Smith and John. Two, Sarah Anna and Lee Ann (tombstone says Luzanna - ed.), are deceased. Mr. Leonard owns a farm of 320 acres, beautifully situated, and in a high state of cultivation. He has a fine residence, commodious barn, and a large bearing orchard of 624 trees, being one of the finest orchards in Taylor County. He has a superabundance of small fruits. Mr. L. has experienced all the hardships and privations of pioneer life. Commencing when the county was new, and having little means, he set to work with a determination, and by industry and frugality conquered all obstacles and acquired for himself and family a pleasant home. He has been honored with numerous offices. His official record is without stain - having performed the duties devolved upon him with marked ability, and always with unswerving integrity and unyielding firmness. He is an unassuming man, honest in his dealings, and commands the respect of his fellow men. The interest of Taylor County he has always made a study.
