Mary Leonard, colored, mother-in-law of Samuel Casselman, died on Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock. Mrs. Leonard was about one hundred years old at the time of her death. Her exact age was unknown, but from various circumstances a very reliable estimate can be formed from which it appears that she had at least reached her one hundredth birthday.
