  • Photo of Frank Taylor Leithead– This is the picture his father had in his room. I have taken care of it ever since my Grandma(his sister) died and my papa her husband past away. I am very happy to find where he was buried that would have been so important to my Grandma. She was devastated when he died I have been told as was his father.
