History of Manistee, Mason & Oceana Counties, Michigan
H. R. Page & Co., Chicago - 1882

         [pg 64-65]
         
         AZRO B. LEONARD is another of the men who has worked his
       way along to a comfortable competency. He was born in Stock-
       bridge, Vt., in the year 1823. In the Fall of 1850 he came
       to Wisconsin, and settled in Eureka, Winnebago Co. There he
       was engaged in lumbering and other business. When he first
       came to Wisconsin he worked by the month, and afterwards be-
       came interested in a sawmill at Eureka. Becoming interested
       in a Manistee sawmill, he came here, in 1866, to attend to
       that business, and until 1879 was a member of the firm of 
       GIFFORD, RUDDOCK & Co. In 1879 he sold his interest in the 
       business of that firm, and since that time has been engaged 
       in logging and dealing in pine lands. He is also a member of 
       the hardware firm of KROEGAN & LEONARD, in which he is repre-
       sented by his son, for whom he purchased the interest. MR. 
       LEONARD has a wife and four children, and lives in a hand-
       some residence situated upon the high ground. This residence
       property he purchased in 1878. A very fine lithographic view 
       of it is given upon another page. MR. LEONARD has been suc-
       cessful in his business operations. He is an excellent type 
       of the New England gentleman. A fine steel portrait of MR. 
       LEONARD is given in this work.
