Notes for Jeanette Leonard


Mr. and Mrs. Perry Spencer were the ones who donated many (most?) of the papers in the Abiel Leonard collection of the Historical Society of Missouri Manuscript Collection, formerly the Western Historical Manuscript Collection, Columbia, MO.

From the Wanamaker manuscript:

Jeanette Spencer was the daughter of Reeves and Alice (Gardenhire) Leonard. She was six years old when her father died in 1878. Alice later married Reeves’s younger brother, Nathaniel William Leonard, sometime between 1880 and 1900. The couple and Jeanette continued living at Oakwood. Alice died 24 August 1922. Jeanette had married Richard Perry Spencer in 1904. When William’s health began to fail the couple moved back to Oakwood to care for him. “Mr. Willy” died in 1937. The Spencers continued living at Oakwood, as did some of their children and grandchildren. Perry died in 1953, Jeanette in 1958, both buried in the Fayette city cemetery.
