The William B. Leonard family resided on State Street in Middletown, Pennsylvania in 1904. William was born in 1882 and his wife Mary Plott was born in 1887. The couple was married in 1900.
They had three children: “Jim” born in 1905, “Chuck” born in 1912 and Francis born in 1920. This family is on my husband’s side. Charles Edward, called “Chuck”, was my husband’s father so any history we can learn about the family is precious to us.

This is dedicated to everyone who endured the hardships of the ice and flood storm of March 8, 1904 in Middletown, PA. To survive this tragedy took courage and determination and a joint community effort. To all the families who persevered and overcame the hardships of that time, thanks for your courage.

About Me

- I am happily married and a mother of four fine young men. I am a grandmother of two teens and I spend a lot of time traveling to keep in touch with my family. I enjoy researching topics that are new to me since I can learn new facts. I am an aspiring writer who is just beginning to place my thoughts on paper.
