Anne
(Leonard) Young
(1838-1907)
Anne (Leonard) Young was born on May 30,
1838 in Fayette County, PA, the daughter of Benjamin
and Sarah (Harbaugh) Leonard.
Little is known of Annie's life, except that her married name was "Young."
Her husband's first name and fate are lost to history.
Annie
resided in Ohiopyle, Fayette County. A rare old postcard of the world-famous
Ohiopyle falls is seen at right, set against the backdrop of the
"Little Alps of America."
In 1907, Annie became very ill, as reported by the newspapers. Sadly, after several months of suffering, she passed away at age 69 on March 17, 1907. A brief obituary in the Connellsville Daily Courier said that "Funeral services were held in the M.E. Church by Rev. Charlesworth of Confluence."
She is buried near her parents at Irwin Memorial Cemetery (formerly Belle Grove Cemetery) south of Ohiopyle, PA.
Annie is mentioned in the Cooperriders' 1947 book, Harbaugh History. We hope to learn more of her life story someday.
