Apparent Almon Leonard is not actually buried in the Westlook Cemetery, but rather in Sante Fe, NM:
"E. ALMON LEONARD. It is with regret, and sorrow that we must record the death of Dr. Evans Almon Leonard, late of Santa Fe, New Mexico, which occurred Dec 1 at his home in Santa Fe. He was the son of Chapin and Harriet (Bean) Leonard of this town. His birthplace was Glover, March 29, 1873, and here his boyhood days were spent, and his earlier school days in attending the Orleans Liberal Institute. At the age of 21 he went to Boston as clerk for Hotel Thorndike, remaining there one year. It was here that the seeds of that fatal disease, tuberculosis, were sown, which later ended his life. At this time, Dr. Leonard entered the dental college at Harvard, from which he graduated after a three years' course, he commenced the practice of his chosen profession in Boston, remaining there several years. The east winds of the Atlantic coast proved adverse to the lung trouble which wasrapidly developing. He returned to his hometown, hoping that Green Mountain air might benefit him. It did not, and by advice of eminent physicians he was persuaded to try a higher altitude and a more even climate; then having an opportunity to go south, to Santa Fe as tutor and nurse, he accepted it. Here he remained for two years, at that time he returned much improved in health. But our northern climate was too severe and he again felt that he must go south again if he would prolong life here. Jan. 2, 1909, he married Miss Bessie S. Squarebriggs of Boston and they went in a short time back to New Mexico, where he purchased a house and office in the city of Santa Fe, and worked as he was able at his profession. He also secured a lot of government land a short distance in the country on which he made improvements and lived there a portion of every year. Two years ago a severe attack of typhoid fever left him much reduced in strength and vitality and since then he has been in constant decline, save when his treacherous enemy would induce hopes of recovery. He was always a close student, especially in languages. French, German, Spanish and even the Mexican dialect were at his command. The best poets and all our standard authors were his favorites. He loved ancient history and was ever collecting relics and curios which have occupied a treasured nook in his father's house. Possessed of a genial, social disposition, he was ever a welcome guest among his intimate friends, and in the community a man of candor and good judgment were his encomiums. Much praise is due the wife, who so eagerly assumed the responsibility of caring for him when she was so well aware of his precarious condition, and went cheerfully with him to that promised land in quest of prolonged life. She is left there not without friends for they are legion, but in one sense alone as no relative is with her. His burial is at Santa Fe by his own request. He leaves beside his wife, a father, and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Chapin Leonard, and a brother W.C. Leonard of Cambridge, Mass." (Orleans County Monitor, 12/10/1913)
