LEONARD McGLASSON was born in Kenton County November 21, 1827. His parents were 

Virginians by descent. In 1831 they moved to Grant County and he resided with 

them until he was nearly of mature years, when his parents died. Shortly after 

their demise Mr. McGlasson moved to Ohio, but returned to Kentucky, settling in 

what is now Boone County, where he lived until March 10, 1888, when he again 

returned to his first love--old Grant County. He was a farmer and a carpenter, 

and when he had business in Williamstown, very seldom used a conveyance, but 

"footed it" the round trip. The walking seemed to benefit rather than injure him, 

notwithstanding his advanced years. He served one term as Magistrate in Grant County, 

was a true blue Democrat, and at the time of his death was the oldest living Odd Fellow 

in the county. A good citizen in every respect. Mr. McGlasson died August 2, 1898 at 

his home near Mason, Ky.
