The Tyrone Herald 3/18/1915
William Leonard, a prominent Civil war veteran ad one of the oldest and best 
known citizens of Ormenia, died at his home at that place at 7:20 Friday night 
of a complication of diseases following paralysis.  Over nine years ago he 
sustained a stroke of paralysis and had been confined to his bed ever since.  
He was a son of Robert and Elsie Leonard, both deceased, and was born in 
Bedford county in November, 1843.  He was married early in life, to Sarah 
Shock, also of Bedford county.  To this union ten children were born, eight of 
who survive as follows:  Mrs. Henry Zimmerman of Saxton, Henry of Tyrone, John 
of Williamsport, Mrs. C. E. Kepier and Daniel of Altoona, Nathan, Ira and Mrs. 
Edward Lynn of Mines.  He is also survived by these brothers and sisters:  
Alexander of Duncansville, David, Mrs. Jane Kilbraith and Mrs. Emma Wyant of 
Saxton, Pierce of Ormenia and Mrs. Sarah Clements of Marklesburg.  He enlisted 
July 12, 1864, in Co. I, 194th Pa. volunteer infantry, and served until the end 
of the war under Capt. H. E. Quinby, being honorably discharged at Harrisburg.  
He was a faithful member of the Ormenia Methodist church most of his life and 
funeral services were conducted at the church at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon, by
