Her last name shows as "Leatherman" in the wedding record for her daughter, but I can't find the name in an earlier census, so I can't verify.

Can't find her husband William Marten Leonard buried anywhere. It appears he died between 1930 and 1940. He remarried and the 2nd wife is buried in Minnesota with her earlier family.

At least five children: Ethel May, Ione V., Marten Charles, Cecil Ebenezer, Emily Mavilla.

Her plot is owned by her son-in-law who is buried nearby. His name shows as Grosseup in all the cemetery records, but his daughter is buried as "Grosscup".

Buried in the same plot as her daughter and son-in-law and their daughter.

Thanks to Glenn Rorvig, her obit from Chronicling America.gov:

The Glasgow Courier July 25, 1919 PROMINENT WOMAN DIED LAST SUNDAY MORNING. Mrs. William Leonard Passes Away After Lingering Illness – Funeral Held Wednesday Afternoon. Mrs. William Leonard, wife of William Leonard, a prominent farmer residing on the north bench, passed away Sunday morning. Mrs. Leonard had suffered more of less for the past fourteen years from an affliction which later proved to be cancer, and during the last eight months had been confined to her bed, so that when the end came it was not unexpected. The funeral was held from the Congregational Church Wednesday afternoon and was largely attended. The sermon was delivered by Rev. R. H. Stone, who paid a fitting tribute to the memory of the deceased. Emily Leatherman was born October 20, 1857, in Adams County, State of Wisconsin. She was married to William Leonard on September 15, 1886. Mrs. Leonard died July 20, at 11:30 a.m., being 62 years old. For long years she was a devoted Christian and was a charter member of the Congregational Church. She was the mother of six children, all of whom with her husband survive her. The children are Mrs. Deleo of Illinois, Mrs. Grosscup, Martin Leonard, Mrs. Langen, Cecil Leonard and Emily Leonard, all of Glasgow, and an adopted son, Frank Leonard, of Park River, North Dakota. Besides the husband and family there is a very large circle of relatives and friends who keenly mourn her departure.
