| Note | The 1884 Mecosta bios state that Leonard was a son of Richard S. Decker. This is born out by the 1880 census at Millbrook which shows him as Richard's son. It's of some interest that the family spent some time in Canada. His mother was born there and his eldest sister. A brother was born in Illinois. Leonard's death registration in Washington State shows his father as Richard Decker and his mother as Ellen Aldridge, born in Canada. It gives his residence as Copalis Beach, Washington. It also shows his middle name as Hazen. |
