      WARREN EDWARD LEONARD (7-23-1910 to 9-13-1981)

      Warren Edward Leonard, 71, was a long time resident, former county commissioner and long time rancher east of Karval, Colorado.

Warren attended school in Cheraw and walked a distance of 8 miles each day. After reaching manhood, he went to the Karval area where he acquired property over the years. He eventually owned 7 sections of land and was a successful farmer and rancher. He was always interested in community affairs and worked hard in making it a better place to live and raise a family.
      Warren married Kathryn Nicholas, June, 1934. To that union was born two children, Gwendal and Onnalee. That marriage was dissolved in 1945.
