General Notes: Husband - David C. Leasure


He was educated in the public schools of Canoe township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and was engaged all his life in farming and lumbering in that region, being a very successful business man. He was a youth of eighteen when his father died, and from that time carried on lumbering operations on his own account, cutting all the timber on the 140-acre farm he had in Canoe township, and hiring help for the agricultural work. He bought up coal lands and sold them, became a member of the firm which owned the Enterprise sawmills, at Enterprise, and a few years before his death acquired the sole ownership. He was a prominent man in the locality, though he did not care for public honors and never held office. In political sentiment he was a Republican. He held membership in the Rocksbridge Presbyterian Church, in Canoe township.
