LEONARD--Alsace-Lorraine>PA>MO
Looking for info on descendents of my great-great grandfather Lawrence Leonard,
b. June 14 1853, Alsace-Lorraine (of German parentage, I believe), d. St. Louis, MO September, 1925; buried in Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Arnold, MO.
He married Paulina Wyrsch/Wyrch/Wursh, of Switzerland, c. 1866.She died January, 1933 in St. Louis; also buried in Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Arnold, MO.

I believe that in 1876 they were living in the Reading, PA area, where their daughter Pauline (my great-gmother) was born.

I don't know the identity of the other two children (I'm guessing one was born in the gap between Paul and Agnes).Also, conflicting info from the 1900 census shows 11 children, 11 still living (7 living with the parents at that time). In addition, I alsofound a grave in that same cemetery for a Mary Leonard Vogt, b. 1877, d. 1907.She may have died in childbirth, because a grandson, William Vogt, is residing with Lawrence and Paulina Leonard in 1910.

I believe some of them may have been living in Kimmswick, MO, from about 1908 till at least 1917.Church records from St. Joseph's Catholic CHurch in Kimmswick show that Martha Leonard married William C. Hahn on May 2, 1917.
Church records from St. Joseph's Catholic CHurch in Kimmswick show that Martha Leonard married William C. Hahn on May 2, 1917.Also, church records show that a child, Alois Frank Johnson, son of John Johnson and Tillie Leonard, was baptised in August of 1914.
Also, church records show that a child, Alois Frank Johnson, son of John Johnson and Tillie Leonard, was baptised in August of 1914.I'm curious to know what happened to the various children ofLawrence and Paulina Leonard.I would be happy to share other info that I have on them and their daughter, Pauline.
