ready to set price ton any kind of

Ii he couldn't pay your price he
was nice about it. When Hamer

it was badly out of repair, Grand
father had got too old to do the
work himself. and like lot of old
men. he did not want to part with
the shekles it would cost to hire the
work done. When Hamer got on

repaired and built new fences, clear
ed the land that had gone to under
brush, Strengthened the run (TySon)
and made an up-to-date farm. While
the Leland family had been resi-

Hamer never lost his interest in the
township of his birth, and he was
always welcome when he came. And
now he sleeps in the cemetery at
Emery, beside his first wife, and
Mrs Leland is carrying on the
work as near as she can as Hamer
would have it.

While the Leland family was for

history as we would like to. j. A.
&C. Leland was twice married; his
first wife was daughter of Elijah
Stevens. His second wife was Sar-
ah jenkins, sister of David L. Jen-

lowing children: Frank Baker of
Illinois: A. S., who lived and died
in Muskingum county; Baldwin,
who died many years ago, and is
buried at Lebanon. Minnie, who
married Horace Porter; Jennie,
who married Frank Porter, a
Brother of Horace, and Hamer W.,
who was twice married, first to Del
ia Crisman, and after her death to
Amelia Reed Crisman. The Le-
lands owned the Jacob Henderson
farm, now the home of HI. G.. Hen
derson. Our informant thinks they
sold this farm and went west for
while On returning they bought
the farm on which the Lebanon M
f. church is situated, now owned
by the r. X. Brown heirs. Mr.. Le-
land was not only an extensive
feeder of live stock, but bought
and shipped stock for many years.
Financial difficulties overlook him.
and he lost his farm. The Leland
children were up and doing, being
a big part in the social life of the
community. Lively and likeable,
they were always welcome in any
gathering. We understand a son of

family, but we could not find him
Hamer Leland was the last of the
family, in the township. After his
first marriage, he bought a farm ir
