Leland Stough, eldest son of Wallace H and Louisa Stough, left his parents home in Stryker, OH as a young man and moved to Toledo to "make his fortune. He was the first Stough, as far as we know to work for the Toledo Blade, and eventually became a typesetter there and at the Toledo News Bee. Today, 100+ years later, members of the Stough family are still employed by the Blade.
He married Jenny Groush (spelled many different ways on old records), daughter of Andrew Groush, around 1885 and they had their first child about a year later. Eventually they had six children: Louisa or Lulu (1886), Wallace (1889), Charles (1891), Frank (1892), May (1897) and Kenneth (1902).
Leland was leaning over in front of a metal locker when one of his fellow workers playfully "goosed" him, causing him to jerk upward, cutting his elbow on a sharp metal edge. Because of this seemingly minor injury, Leland got blood poisoning, and died.
