This article is interesting as John S. Leary's brother was Lewis Sheridan Leary, of Harper's Ferry and John Brown fame.

Leary's daughter, Helen Leary Love, authored a book that has been transcribed and made available online. A link to it is below. The book contains some information about her family and father.

Have you unearthed any other articles written by John S. Leary? Perhaps you could identify them and submit the transcriptions here as before.
