I have almost 100 photos of grave markers from Ohio County. Some of these I made on cemetery visits and some were sent to me by other researchers. I will post all of these as they might be helpful to someone. I am sorry that I cannot give you the cemetery locations of the photos – just that they are in Ohio County.

Francis Talbert Leach

Francis Talbert Leach

When Francis Talbert Leach was born on June 22, 1873, in Ohio County, Kentucky, his father, William Brooks Leach, was 31 and his mother, Mary F. Sullenger, was 25. Francis had one sister, Mary Will, and four brothers, Ulysses Hayes, M. H., James Sullenger, and Burch. He also had one half-brother, Dakota Brooks Leach. Francis was known in the community by the nick-name "Man."

Francis married Ada E. Parrott on January 9, 1897, in Ohio County, Kentucky. Ada was born 26 Aug 1882 in Illinois, the daughter of Sally Ann Suthard and Isaac Parrott. They had eight children in 14 years: Edward Kirkwood Leach; Lillie M. Leach; Dollie F. Leach; James E. Leach; Lum H. Leach; Cora S. L:each; Isaac Brooks Leach; and Marvin Lester Leach.

Francis died on December 29, 1912, in Ohio County, Kentucky, at the age of 39. His occupation was coal miner and it is thought he died in a mine accident (although his death certificate disputes that). His grave marker says year of birth 1871 but that is a mistake. He is buried in Southard Burying Ground, Ohio County.
