I have updates to the obit you posted today. Leonard's wife Tracy died 6-16-26, not 1928. His sister's name was Mrs. Theophilus Misslich (Anna), not Missluch.
His daughters names were Mrs Madlyn Stoltz and Mrs. Relindis Ellis.

Thank you for allowing me the chance to provide these updates. Regards, K. Schauf - kjmom9496@hotmail.com
