Biography

From Findagrave.com... Leah Elizabeth was the sixth of nine children born to my great-grandparents, Solomon and Catherine (Hill) Swartz. Her tombstone states that she was born in 1842, but that is incorrect. All records that I have found prove that she was born in 1851, so the informant evidently was not sure of her age at the time of her death. Leah's siblings were: John Hill, born 30 November 1838 Mary Anna, born 2 April 1841 Benjamin Andrew, born 28 November 1842 Catherine Jane, born 7 January 1845 Solomon Henry, born 27 June 1847 Samuel Edmund, born 4 September 1853 Lydia Belle, born 15 November 1857 Sarah Ellen, born 4 June 1860

Leah married John Henry Cloke, son of Henry and Emily (Lathers) Cloke on 7 January 1869 in Jefferson County, IA. They were the parents of four known sons: William H., born 1870 Milton G., born 1871 Franklin Samuel, b. 19 August 1876 Solomon Edward, 1879
