Leander was the West Montrose village Blacksmith living next door to the Blacksmith shop close to the "Covered Bridge" for most of his life. He was known as "Grandpa" to all village residents, and the often the subject of a humerous colum in the Elmira Signet written by the village store owner Greta (circa 1980s) most due to his fine sense of humor. He was also filmed for Bill Brahmas Ontario on Global TV and interviewed for a project for the Kitchener Libary.
Leander aprenticed as a blacksmith under Henry Hoff in Bloomingdale from 1903 to 1906 for which he was paid $125 for the 3 years. He worked for Charles Mansfield in Westmontrose in 1908. From 1915 till 1937 when he purched the Westmonrose Blacksmith shop for $7500 (build around 1900 by William Letson) from Oscar Isreal, he worked in St Jacobs, Hespeler & Moncrief. He ceased shoeing horses in 1958 and blacksmith operations in 1975 but continued woodworking in the shop and living in the ajcent house until 1984 age 97.
When his home burnt Christmas Day 1985 he continued to live with his daughter Myrtle in Milverton wnere he was visiting at that time. His house remains and shop was removed in 1986 and is now a small park for the use of visitors coming to see the Covered Bridge.
He liked a drink now and then and son in law Don tells of visits when Grandpa would say "Are you going to town soon" ...."Pick me up a case of beer" and then as an after thought with a little chuckle "Dont tell Ruth" (Ruth did not aprove of drinking and would shurly take him to task if he over indulged!)
In later years he walked "up the hill" to daughter Ruths home for supper most nights.
His 100th bithday was celebrated in Milverton Legon Hall with a large gathering of friends and relatives.
