Harry A. Leach was born in Boston in 1869 to Frederick L. and Isabelle H. Leach. He was a resident of 138 Tyler Street in today's [circa 2000] Chinatown and died on July 13, 1870, from Gastric Fever and Meningitis.
According to cemetery office records Harry A. Leach's remains were not interred at Cedar Grove Cemetery, Dorchester. However a belief persists that the infant was either interred here or some sort of marker existed[Lot 959 Gladiolus Path].
Information from the Dorchester Atheneum
Update, 2020: Contributor Miss Ibby (48814078) confirms that young Harry's name is on a family monument with his paternal grandparents, who predeceased him, at Pine Grove Cemetery in Topsfield, Essex County, Massachusetts. It is possible his inclusion here is merely a cenotaph. However it seems more likely that he is interred here, and that he was either never interred at at Cedar Grove or his body was moved. As per the stone, he was 9 months old when he died.
Note that while the Atheneum records say he died July 13, the stone says he died July 12.
