Raridan of Havana, Ill., and Platt Raridan of Roundup, Mont., together with a host of friends who mourn her departure.
About fifteen years ago, Mrs. Leonard was baptized and united with the Christian church in Havana. She was a loving wife, and affectionate mother and a good neighbor. The family resided in Kerton township until last October when they moved to the farm in Astoria township, where Mrs. Leonard passed away.
