WOOD, Clara May - (SRGP 06439) A rather belated brief sketch of the life, illness and untimely demise of the estimable and beloved young wife of S. S. Leonard, principal of the Wells High school follows:  Clara May Wood was born January 3, 1871, on what is known as the "Carr farm," in Wells township, educated in the schools of Wells and South Creek, Troy high school and Mansfield Normal school. At the age of 17 united with the Presbyterian church at Coryland, under the leadership of the late lamented Rev. Hallock Armstrong, and remained through life a consistent member. She was for two years preceptress of Girls in the institution for the Deaf and Dumb at Philadelphia. She was united in marriage to Mr. S. S. Leonard, December 15, 1892, and went with her husband to Orvisburg, Miss., where he held a fine position with the Champion Lumber Company, and in February 1894, they returned to Bradford county. Five children blessed their union, two of whom passed on before her. Mrs. Leonard’s life was a marvel of Christian fortitude and love and devotion to her husband and children. Her final sickness, crebro spinal meningitis, is directly traceable to babyhood, when she tipped over backward in a high chair throwing her into convulsions from which she suffered more or less for several years. She died at her home in Wells, February 28, 1904 after an illness of about two weeks. The deceased was a daughter of G. N. and Helen Wood of Mansfield, and leaves to mourn her untimely demise, besides her parents, her husband and three small children, on sister, Mrs. Dean H. McClure of Virtus, and one brother, Dr. Fred G. Wood of Mansfield. The remains were taken to her old home at Granville, and tenderly laid to rest.
