Knoxville--H. Stanford Leathers Sr. altributes to his faith in God his ability to accept the loss of both legs and continue to operate his store. Leathers' legs were removed a year ago at Elmira's Arnot-Ogden Hospital because of circulatory problems. He returned home last July. He since has been in a wheelchair until recently when he acquired a set of artificial legs. When first informed of the need for the amputations, he called in his three daughters and son and discussed the impending operations. The children were shocked, but he said "The Lord will see me through. I am ready for anything that might befall me." Now, 84, he looks back on a healthy life, having known nothing more serious than a sprained ankle. Because of the deaths of his parents and an only brother, he early was forced to make a living for himself. After taking a course in shorthand and typing at Williamsport, for 15 years he held an executive position with the Central Pennsylvania Lumber Co. at Lakeland. Later, while employed at Galeton, he decided to enter the hardware business as he felt that lumbering was fading out. However, it was not until 1922, after he had served the lumber company at Port Alleganu, Costello and Laquin, that he came to Knoxville. Earlier, in 1911, he had married mrs. Sue Bennet of Montoursville. They chose their future home in Knoxville by seeing a picture of it in an advertisement in a Philadelphia newspaper. Leathers is the oldest member of the Knoxville United Methodis Church, which he attends regularly. he stills plays the piano occasionally for the Sunday School and the men's Communion Breakfasts. He has held several offices in the church. He also is apast master of Knoxville Lodge, F&AM, and a 32nd degree Mason. Because of devotion to his business, he has had little time for community affairs, but has supported numerous benefits. The wheelchair has not prevented him from looking after the busines in which he is in partnership with his son Stanford Jr. Leathers' pastor, the Rev. Gerald Wood, Says, "It seems that a man who has gone through the pain and agony that Mr. Leathers has would be totally bitter toward God. Instead, he keeps on being the same lovable man that he has always been. "If only more people would follow his example, the world would be a better place." His grandaughter Rhonda says: "What keeps my grandpa going? He has an intestinal fortitude that forces him to want to walk again and live every moment to its fullest degree "He always has a song in his heart and a joke on his lips."
