Found out today that I'm related to this woman. Sounds like she lived a pretty interesting life.

@GuerillaOntologist It's always fun to find interesting ancestors. After my parents moved to South Bend, Indiana, USA, we noticed Leeper Park, and found that it was named after a distant cousin, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_R._Leeper.
@lwriemen Looks like your ancestor spent some time in my neck of the woods too:
"In 1867, Leeper was nominated to the Montana House of Representatives but was defeated. He returned to Indiana in August 1868."
