Leonard Woolworth was born in Turin, Lewis Co., N. Y., April 20, 1816, and died in Orleans, Neb., Aug. 3, 1891.
He was taken with bilious fever which terminated in a general breaking down of the whole system, having been sick only one week. He was married in Scott, N. Y., to Eunice S. Babcock, in 1840, and resided in New York State until 1845, when they moved to Milton, Wis., where he lived until the breaking out of the Rebellion, when he enlisted in the 13th regiment, and was discharged for disability and returned to Milton. In 1870 he changed his residence to Nebraska, where he has since lived. He united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church at Alfred, N. Y., and on removing to Milton, Wis., changed his membership to that church. In 1875 a church was organized in Orleans, Neb., of which he became a member and remained a worthy member as long as it existed. J. F. M.
