Notes:

He was married October 26, 1862, to Miss Sarah E. Haven, a lady whose natural endowment of head and heart made her universally loved and respected. Her death, on April 17, 1888, occasioned acute sorrow in the entire neighborhood as well as in the home circle. She was the mother of two sons and four daughters, two of whom preceded her to the spirit land. Those surviving her as follows: Lucinda, who married John Scott, a farmer of Jefferson township, by whom she had four children; Anna, wife of Chalmer Kerr, an agriculturist of Delaware county, and the mother of one child; Charles E., who is an agriculturist and grain dealer of Fowlerton, is married to Miss Minnie Payne and has two children; and Martha C., who was educated in the common schools and received a musical education. She lives at home. On March 16, 1890, Mr. Leach led to the alter Miss Jennie Wood, whose kindly nature and womanly qualities have made her an ideal wife and mother. She is a daughter of John and Mary (Smith) Wood and was born in Ripley county, this state, January 12, 1851, but during her infancy her parents moved to Allen county, thence to Bluffton, where she was educated and lived for twenty-two years. She is a devout member of the Harmony Baptist church, as are her husband and daughter Martha. Mr. Leach worked zealously for the erection of the pretty structure in which they now worship, and has been foremost in all movements which are conducive to public good. He stands high in the community and will leave to his children a heritage far preferable to lands and gold-- a good name. He is a Democrat and cast his first vote for George B. McClellan.

Notes:

****************
From Find a Grave:

Lucinda A. Leach was born May 7, 1868 in Fairmount Township to William J. Leach and Ellen J. (Havens) Leach of the prominent family of that name in southern Grant County. The other children in the Leach family were, Charles E., Anna and Martha C.

Lucinda A. Leach married John H. Scott in 1890. The children of John Scott and Lucinda Leach Scott are: Effie, Ira Pearl, Sarah Ellen, William Harvey, Ancil Everett and Arlie W.

"On section twenty-six of Jefferson township is located one of the substantial country homes of Grant county. It is not a pretentious homestead. It comprises seventy-five acres of as good land as can be found in the vicinity, and one of the evidences of his thrift and prosperity is a comfortable white house, standing in the midst of a grove of trees, erected by him in 1898. A good barn and all other facilities for up-to-date farming are on the place. Mr. Scott is one of the very excellent farmers, and he and his wife, who has worked alongside of him throughout their married career, have succeeded in building up a modest little fortune and in rearing a family of good children. More than that could hardly be said in praise of anyone, and it is an accomplishment to be proud of."

John H. and Lucinda Scott were members of the Methodist Church, and his political affiliation was with the Republican party.
