He worked on the New York Central RR and told had been killed on it. Married to Clara Munson Leonard his parents were John C Leonard and Lid Trenchard from same area.

thank you, all that is what I have so far. Found it recently on LDS site in past 2 weeks but cannot find obit or which cemetery in Palisades NY he is buried. He was fireman on the New York Central RR and died in accident on the engine from my mother and aunts stories in past. Nothing else yet all relatives are now gone. His wife my grandmother is buried in Dale Cemetery Ossining NY where they lived besides Croton on Hudson.

''He was fireman on the New York Central RR and died in accident on the engine'' Have you tried asking the RR if they paid for the burial and where it was.
