General Notes: Husband - Abraham Y. Leasure


He was born on the farm in East Mahoning township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and there grew to manhood, his education being acquired in the subscription schools. His school attendance only covered a few months during the winter time, his summers being spent in the work of the home farm, but he was of an observant and intelligent nature, took advantage of his opportunities and managed to obtain a good, practical education. Farming occupied his attention throughout his life. He settled on a tract of land which was later owned by John Rochester, of Marion Center, but later moved to a tract of 140 acres, which subsequently became known as the Bovard farm. His next location was on a tract of 120 acres near Richmond, in East Mahoning township, and there he spent the remainder of his active life, his declining years being passed on a small place near Richmond, where he died. He was a Democrat in his political proclivities, and a faithful member of the Christian Church.
