In fact, I think they even have a Leavenworth newspaper. Unfortunately, there is no index for the articles. If you had a death date, I would be able to find the article for you. I do some research with these papers, I'll keep my eye out for Leonard. I'm at a standstill with my O'Brien research. Your Buffalo remark interests me. Briefly, here's what I have: my great-grandfather (John O'Brien) born in Massachusetts about 1852. He died in Buffalo, NY 10 January 1894. His obit mentions two brothers: William and Michael F. John O'Brien had three children (Loretta, Frederick, and Thomas). They moved to Dunmore, PA with their mother after their father died. (Frederick was my grandfather.)
