Obiturary of Harriet (Love) Craddock from the Tampico Tornado
Harriet Craddock, born in Greene County, Pennsylvania, Sept. 6, 1841, daughter of George and Hannah Rhinehart Love, died August 12, 1938 in Chicago at the home of her daughter Olive at the age of 96 years, 11 months, and 6 days. Her father died when she was a small child. When she was 10 years old her mother was married again to William Adams, one of the very early settlers in Bureau County. (fall of 1840), who had returned to Pennsylvania for a visit to his boyhood home.
The personal property of of Mrs. Craddock's mother was loaded on a flat boat at Pittsburgh, Pa., for the long trip to Illinois. They came down the Ohio to it's mouth, up the Mississippi to the mouth of the Illinois River thence up the latter stream to Peru or De Pie, where the goods were unloaded and taken overland to the home previously established by Mr. Adams at the east edge of Fairfield Township, not far from Green River. There Mrs. Craddock grew to womanhood with two brothers, William J. Love and Martin Love, three half brothers, Rhine Leonard, Jonah F. R. Leonard, and Frank Leonard, and the Adams children. One girl in the Adams family, Katie Adams became the wife of Nathan Meek, and the two girls grew up together as devotd to each other as if they had been flesh and blood sisters. The step-brothers, Samuel, Jacob, and Frank Adams. All of those have long ago passed to the Great Beyond.

The latch string at the Adams home was out to the traveler who covered the trail from Rock River to Green River, and many there were who stopped overnight in the big log house with it's huge fireplace that stood a bit south of the house now owned by William Long of Sheffield, whose wife is an Adams, a descendant of this remarkaable family......

At the age of 20, the girl Harriet was married to William W. Craddock on June 18,

. J.F.R. LEONARD, farmer, stock-raiser and dealer, resides on section 11, Oregon Township, where he is the owner of 240 acres of fine land, all of which is under a high state of cultivation. He was born in Greene County, Pa., Dec. 10, 1832, and is the son of John and Hannah (Reinhart) Leonard, both of whom were natives of Pennsylvania, and of German descent; the former died when our subject was but seven years of age; the latter is still living in Whiteside County, Ill. They reared a family of six children, of whom three are now living. The subject of this sketch was reared on a farm, and received his education in the common schools, which has been supplemented by a thorough and systematic course of reading and study. In 1856 he went to Kansas, and was there during the time of the border troubles. While there he espoused the side of the Free-Soil party, and did all in his power to make Kansas a free State. In the attempt to force slavery upon the territory a resort to arms was had, and it became necessary for those in favor of freedom to meet the attack of the slave-holders and their allies. Mr. Leonard served under Jim Lane, and was in numerous skirmishes, including what was known as the battle of Lawrence. He was well acquainted with John Brown and his sons, and for some time was a companion of one of the latter. While a citizen of Kansas, he engaged in teaching, and taught several terms of public school. He was elected to the office of county Superintendent of Schools, and also served as County Surveyor of Chase County. On the breaking out of the Rebellion, Mr. Leonard returned to Illinois, to which State his parents had moved at an early day, and there enlisted, in 1862, in the 93d Illinois Infantry, and served until the close of the war. The history of the 93d is a glorious one, and in the various campaigns and battles in which it participated Mr. Leonard was actively engaged. He was in the siege of Vicksburg, the battles of Champion Hills, Missionary Ridge, Atlanta, Macon and Savannah. He was in the grand review at Washington, and was mustered out at Louisville, Ky., and discharged at Chicago. Soon after the close of the war, he came to Washington County, Iowa, and here married, in 1870, Miss Margaret A. Sands, a native of Tennessee, born June 11, 1840, and daughter of Benjamin and Rosanna (Henderson) Sands. To them, have been born five childrenÙvHannah R., Lillie M., Hattie J., John B. and Archie B. When Mr. Leonard settled upon his present farm it was in a wild state. All the improvements which now exist were made by his own hands, the farm now being considered one of the best in Oregon Township. His life has been a most active one, and he has lived to see the day when he is surrounded by almost everything that can make a man happy. Although residing upon a farm, and engaging in the hard work necessary to keep it up and further improve it, he yet finds time to read the various standard works of the day, and to keep posted in general literature. In the past few years he has pursued the course laid down by the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, and has received his diploma. Mr. Leonard is a member of Ainsworth Lodge No. 365, A.F. & A.M. He is also a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which body his wife and three oldest children are also members. In politics he is a Republican, one of the stalwart page 242 kind. He believes in its principles, and does not yet believe that its mission is ended. While not numbered among the earliest settlers of Washington County, Mr. Leonard has been so closely identified with its interests, and has been so actively engaged, that few men are better known or more highly respected.
