Since she was buried in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Hamilton Co, TX, I went to Elreeta Weather's Gazetteer of Hamilton Co, TX, and did a search for Leonard. Lots of matches, but #25 showed her husband's name was Elra and also buried in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery. Some other information for him is also given on that site -- http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gazetteer2000/
