This information is gleaned from a variety of sources. The primary source of information
was Grandma Clara Sprague Leiby. I have tried to make the information as accurate and
complete as possible, however it is difficult as records get lost, memories fade and there's plenty of misinformation on the Internet. If you see a statement that you know to be incorrect feel free to contact me at al@lazlographics.com & I will attempt to reconcile the information.
Family members have supplied the photographs and the identity of those in the photos is certain.
