Author: Past and Present of Will County, IL; 1907

J. D. Leland, who is steward at the Illinois penitentiary, at Joliet, has been 
a resident of Will county since 1866. He is a native of Niagara county, New 
York, but has spent the greater part of his life in Joliet. Thirty-five years 
ago he was appointed by the state as purchasing agent for the prison, a 
position he still holds. Mr. Leland was married in New York, in 1853, to Miss 
Helen Fuller, a native of Orleans county, New York. They have become the 
parents of four children: Homer, who is a banker of Iowa; Clara, now Mrs. 
Goodhue, of California; Frank, a lawyer practicing in Ohio; and May, the wife 
of Frank Whitgrove. The family occupy a fine residence of ten rooms on Cass 
street, which was built by Mr. Leland. His business and social connections 
have brought to him a wide acquaintance and he has the favorable regard of the 
great majority of those with whom he has come in contact.
