HENRY WEBSTER LEATHERBERRY has passed his entire life in Richland county and is one of the popular and successful business men of Hub City, where he has a well equipped general store. He was born in Henrietta township Nov. 1, 1864, being a son of Thomas Jefferson Leatherberry, who was born in the dominion of Canada. Thomas J. Leatherberry came to Richland county in 1852, in company with his parents, and they first settled on Fancy creek, in the town of Marshall, and later on Pine River, town of Henrietta, securing a tract of heavily timbered land, in section 8 and 9. The parents there passed the remainder of their lives, having lived up to the full tension of the pioneer days and having been honored citizens of the county. Of their children, Thomas J. is the eldest; Peter is a resident of Richland Center; Elizabeth lives at Lafarge, Vernon county; Margaret resides in the town of Sylvan, Richland county; Lucinda resides in Vernon county; Hudson and William are residents of Ladysmith, Rusk county; and Daniel resided in Juneau county. Thomas J. Letherberry aided in reclaiming the home farm and remained at home and cared for his parents in their declining days. His first purchase of land was that of a tract of forty acres on Pine river, in the town of Henrietta, and he developed the same into a good farm. He finally traded the property for 160 acres in sections 14 and 15, same township. A small clearing had been made on the place and a log house and stable had been erected. He reclaimed 100 acres to cultivation and made the best of improvements on the place, which continued to be his home until the autumn of 1905, when he sold the property and located in Hub City, where he is now living retired, his devoted wife having been summoned to the life eternal in December, 1899. He is a Republican in politics and served as a member of the town board and held other local offices. He is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He is one of the well known and highly esteemed pioneers of the county, in whose civic and industrial development he has been intimately concerned. Concerning the eight children of Thomas J. and Maria Leatherberry the following brief data are entered: Leroy, who is a machinist by trade, is now a commercial traveler, maintaining his home in Houston, Tex.; George is deceased; Henry W. is the immediate subject of this sketch; Joshua is a successful farmer of the town of Henrietta; Etta resides at Lafarge, Vernon county; Josie is a resident of Bloom City; Grant resides in West Lima; and Lillie is a resident of Clark county. Henry W. Leatherberry was reared to the sturdy discipline of the farm and was afforded the advantages of the local schools. He remained at the parental home until his marriage, in 1892, when he located in Richland Centre, where he remained two years. In 1895 he took up his residence and machinery business and finally opened a general store, which he has since conducted most successfully, having erected the commodious building utilized for the accommodation of the enterprise. He formerly owned the farm which his grandfather purchased from the government, but he never lived on the place, of which he eventually disposed. He is now the owner of a well improved farm of fifty acres, in the town of Rockbridge. Mr. Leatherberry is a stanch supporter of the principles and policies of the Republican party and he has served as postmaster of Hub City since 1897. He is recognized as one of the progressive business men and public-spirited citizens of his native county and is held in unqualified esteem by all who know him. In March, 1892, Mr. Leatherberry was united in marriage to Miss Della Clark, of Richland Center. She is a daughter of John and Melissa (McMann) Clark, who were born in Ohio and who were early settlers of Richland county, having located near Bloom City, Mr. and Mrs. Leatherberry have three children,-Albert F., born Jan. 21, 1895; John Clarence, born Dec. 20, 1901; and an infant, born May 20, 1906.
