We now have three genealogy files on this site: our main database which is a combined ‘Ives-Leedom’ tree, plus two additional working trees with so-far unconnected people I've found along the way, ‘Leedoms-unknown’ and ‘Netherlands-unknown’. All of the Search results will identify which tree contains the individual or place in question.
Different sources sometimes have conflicting information and there are undoubtedly a few typographical errors in here as well. Please feel free to send us any corrections to errors you may find in our files. Additions are always welcome too!
Tombstone gives birth and death dates and age at death as 28 years, 10 months and 3 days. Charles is shown in the 1900 census with William and his housekeeper Tillie where he is described as 'son'. William and Tillie married in 1902 after her divorce so Charles is probably William's son by his first wife, Tillie's sister. I've found no information about his first wife.
Charles death certificate names his parents as William S. Leedom and Tillie Schaffer and gives his occupaation as Cigar Maker. It also states he was born in Quakertown and was married at the time of his death. It does not give his death date only his burial date and place.
1889 - 1918 (28 years)
