Picture
"Combined Ages of Brothers and Sisters is 407 years. The photograph above represents in the combined ages of the brothers and sisters, 407 years. In the back row are Carlton Leatherman, 81, and John Leatherman, 87, both of Myersville. In the front row from left to right are Mrs. Clara Grossnickle, 79, and Mrs. Melissa Harshman, 77, both of Myersville, and Mrs. Sarah C. Derr, 83, near Frederick. The picture was taken on Good Friday at the home of Mrs. Derr when she was hostess to her brothers and sisters and about 25 relatives and friends at a dinner. Two brothers, Charles Leatherman, 85, Keedyville, and David Leatherman, 73, Myersville, were unable to attend.

"They are the children of the late George and Rebecca Johnson Leatherman, Myersville, and have all been married and outlived their husbands and wives. They are all still active and take a lively interest in everyday affairs. They are all particularly fond of their gardens, which they tend without assistance. When he was 41, Carlton said he was examined by a doctor after an illness and was told he had only a few years to live."


​Frederick Post, 28 March, 1940
