"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."
