(Correction note from Karen Schauf)

Hello Ann,
I do believe you have spelled Leon's family name wrong. There is a "d" in his last name. Also you have the wrong date of birth for him. He was born in 1886. If he was born in 1896, he would have been 14 when he married and I do not think that was the case.

I know that sometimes the newspaper that you transcribed from is wrong but I wanted to put in the correct name and DOB.

Thank you.
