Here's a thread for someone....I actually ended up with this from my grandfathers stories. I believe that a Elizabeth Leek m. a William Brown. They had three children( Josephine 1848, Richard abt.1850, and Alice 1854) and Josephine (married in 1868) William Carrol Holliday. All in the Metropolis IL and Paducah, KY area But, on to the thread! Ora Leek(probably born 1910-1916) married a SEXTON in the Joppa, IL area before 1929. They had a son that died, as a young man, cleaning his gun. Ora and her husband moved to Sikeston, MO and establishd a successful hardware business. I believe the inventory they started with was from Ora's fathers old inventory. John(?) Leek had a large dry goods store in the Joppa, IL area and it had closed.Ora had two brothers we know of, James and E.O.. The brothers owned and/or operated a jewelery business in Kansas City. I would love to confirm the Leek and Brown parts of this puzzel!! Dennis
