        Civil War Veteran Is
           Dead at Vernon
           
        VERNON, Mich., Nov. 10 - EDWARD M. LEONARD
      of this place died Wednesday at 1 o'clock,
      after an illness of three years, caused by
      paralysis. He was born in Salem, Washtenaw
      county, April 16, 1841. His father died in
      1845 and thereafter the lad lived with an
      uncle. At 18 he began to take contracts for
      carpenter work and built his first barn very
      successfully. During the latter part of the
      year he enlisted with the Tenth Michigan
      cavalry, and during his service in the army
      at one time suffered all the horrors of the
      smallpox pest house.
        MR. LEONARD was married to ELIZA *. STORES,
      daughter of HARVEY STORES of Venice, in Owosso,
      May 25, 1867. After the war he worked at his
      former trade, living in Vernon until 1870 when
      he moved to the farm in Venice where he lived
      until 1909, with the exception of about three
      years which he spent in Flint. In 1909 he sold
      his farm and bought the home in Vernon, where
      he lived until his death.
        MR. LEONARD had been a member of Corunna 
      lodge, F. & A. M., since 1869. He was also a
      member of Maccabee Tent, No. 381, of Lennon
      and the Gleaners of Lennon. He leaves a widow,
      one brother, WILLIAM LEONARD, of Corunna, and
      one son, HUGH LEONARD of this place.
        The funeral will be held at 10:30 today in
      the Methodist church, conducted by REV. CURTS.
      Burial will be in South Venice Cemetery.
