Louisa Jane (McMullen) Leach (b. 1868)
Daughter of John Liner McMullen
Louisa Jane McMullen was first married to Lance M. Leach
(1858-1922) and as the family portrait above indicates, raised a large family by
Mr. Leach. Since the names are on the portrait, I'll not repeat them
here. After Mr. Leach died in 1922, Louisa Jane remarried P.D. Holland (b.
abt. 1870) in 1927. I am unsure if there were any children from the
second marriage.
Here's another early photograph (circa 1910) of Ina, Earl and
Oscar:
At least two of the Leach children from the above photo, Ina and
Earl, had occasional interaction with some of the other McMullen clan as
adults. The following photos feature them and their families. The
first photo is of Ina (Leach) Zumwalt (1894-1971) in the wedding dress
used by her mother, Louisa Jane (McMullen) Leach, the dress being 46 years old
the day this photo was taken (July 31, 1936). The second photo is of Ina and
husband Tom Zumwalt (b. abt. 1890).
The third photo taken on a ship around the time of World War I
features Earl Leach (b. 1891) in the middle "cleaning up" on
board. The last photo below is of Ezra McMullen (1873-1946) and his
nieces, Elora Jane Leach (b. 1922), daughter of Earl Leach; Dorothy
Lou Mathis (1922-2000) and her sister Sally Cleo Mathis (1912-1992),
both daughters of Eva Ellen (McMullen) Mathis.
