1344 - L. Feb. 9; ed:4/3 - In a letter to the editor "T" of Warren, Ohio,
says: "When all our returning regiments have arrived, we intend to
give them a rousing reception.
"We have a vile Copperhead sheet published here, miscalled CONSTI-
TUTION, edited by J. Palm. We do not think, however, that it is in
any danger from the returning boys, for they will soon learn that our
citizens are opposed to mob law." (8)

1428 - L Dec. 9:4/3,4 - Leonard P. Case, Esq., was born July 20, 1784 in
Westmore land county, Pennsylvania. He moved to Ohio in 1800 and was a
resident of Cleveland for many years. He was striken with a violent
disease in 1810, which left him a cripple for the remainder of his life.
Knowing that he never would be able to do physical labor to support him-
self, he decided to do so by his pen. His education was limited so far
as book learning was concerned, there being no schools at that time. He
learned to write and cipher however, while he was confined to his bed.
In 1806 he went to Warren where he struggled for a time with poverty, *
but felt that here he would have better chance of success. His sterling
character and common sense brought him friends who helped him in his
writing and furnished him books until he was admitted to the bar. He be-
came collector of non-resident taxes during the war of 1812 and in
1816 was appointed cashier of the Commercial bank of Lake Erie. Although
a cripple and a constant sufferer, he survived all of the original direc-
tors and officers of this bank and by early and judicious investment
in real estate, he became one of the richest men in northern Ohio. Ile
leaves one son, two brothers and three sisters. (29)

ing agáinst it. * * * - -- - - - - - - -
"We admit that we denounced the Protest and agree with the people . . . . .
in calling it ill-timed, ill-tempered, and ill-advised, and Wade is . . .

about him." - - - - * . (10)
