That's where and I found it and DAH??? why didn't I think to go to the first page??? Any how I'm glad to know that LE = Leclaire. That is what I was hoping for as I'm trying to find a reason that my Wm. and Mary Ann Kelly, from PA, were in the 1880 IA Census for Leclaire Twp., Scott Co., IA. They were in PA prior to 1880 and she died in PA in 1888. Now I just have to find where he was and died. I received MANY answers to my question - you were the first to tell me to look at the first page.
