"Frederick Leonard came to Ceres from Richburg in 1842... His wife was an estimable woman, generous, and ready to go among the sick, and to do for all who needed kindly aid. They had four children, two sons and two daughters. The younger son died in 1862, the younger daughter in 1881, and the mother in 1883, all having consumption. The older daughter, who was the widow of Horatio Bell, died in 1889. She left two sons, the older of whom is W.W. Bell, of Bradford; the younger, Edward S. Bell, now living with his family on his mother's place. The older son of Mr. Leonard, Elias, died at his home in Washington, D.C. in 1892, having two sons- Newton and Harry. After Mr. Leonard's wife died, he lived with his daughter mostly until her death, and then with his grandson, E.S. Bell, until January 1895, when he, too, passed away, being nearly eighty-seven years of age. He was a genial, pleasant man, who will long be missed in the community. He retained his faculties, with the exception of hearing, to the last. He was free from bad habits, and had been a strong temperance man for many years. He was a member of the Presbyterian church at Portville."
