         J. M. LEONHARDY, Register of Deeds, Alma, was born in
       Switzerland, Feb. 3, 1843. When he was sixteen years old, 
       his parents emigrated to America, and for a period of 
       one year resided in Canada, when they removed to Sauk 
       County, and only remained there a short time. In 1861, 
       they located permanently in the town of Alma. MR. LEON-
       HARDY had only the advantages of a common school education, 
       but his early life was spent in teaching during the Winter, 
       and farming in Summer. In 1869, he settled in the village 
       of Alma, and has been in various businesses since. Although 
       not an office-seeker, he has been chosen by the people to 
       act as Sheriff one term, and in 1879 was elected to his 
       present position. In 1873, he married VERONIKA FUOTER, who 
       was born in the same place, in 1851. They have one child, 
       ALMA.
