He was married, in 1870, to Nelia Conaway, daughter of
Michael and Elizabeth (Lovelace) Conaway, both

Charley C., deceased, and Clyde H. Mr.
Leighninger was a member of Company E., One Hundred and
Forty-second O. N. G., holding the commission of Second
Lieutenant; was in general hospital, at Fortress Monroe, three
weeks, with the typhoid fever, and had charge of forty of the
six and disabled, in their transportation home. In 1866,
Mr. Leighninger, in company with B. F. Fleming,
was enagaged very extensively in the lumber business, in
Southern Indiana; running their own mill, buying and selling,
and carrying on quite a successful business, when he was
stricken with the lung fever, and remained sick our months;
and, seeing he could not endure the exposure and hardships
incident thereto, he sold his entire interest to Mr. John
Grove, of Harrison county."
In early life, Mr. Leighninger, with his
brothers Levi, Asa and Lewis, formed a
partnership with the home farm of 180 acres, after they had
brought out the heirs, as their capital, and worked together
until 1856, when Levi withdrew and located on a
hill-farm in Oxford township, known as the Mushrush farm.
In 1859 Lewis withdrew, the possessor of the fine farm
of 100 acres near West Lafayette; the partnership between
Isa and B. F., continued until last spring, when
the stock was divided between them, giving to each a fine
farm, well stocked and improved. The farm owned by B.
F. was bought April 1, 1867, and known as the Ralph
Phillips farm, Mr. Phillips having entered it and
owning it until the purchase by the Leighningers.
The farm is one of the best improved in the county, and is set
off by one of the prettiest houses on the plains, supplied
with all the modern improvements, and everything in fact,
tending to make a pleasant home. There never was a more
prosperous and happy combination, all things considered, than
this, inasmuch as there never was a jar during the years that
their interests were a common one, and was the means of giving
them all comfortable homes.

upon the tract but with characteristic energy he began to
clear it and to plow and plant it. He also erected
good buildings and in course of time developed an excellent
farm which he continued to cultivate and which he made his
home until his death. His wife also passed away on the
old homestead in Champaign county and some of their children
now reside upon the same farm there.
Excellent educational privileges were afforded
Joseph Love. He pursued his early studies in the
district schools and later became a student in the Champaign
University, in fact, he was one of hits first pupils and the
thorough training which he there received well prepared him
for life's practical and responsible duties. On
putting aside his text books he began farming near the old
homestead in Champaign county and while thus engaged he
returned to Ohio in 1875 and was there married to Miss
Eliza J. Hanlon, a native of Jefferson county, Ohio,
born in 1849. Her parents were William and Mary
(Stark) Hanlon, and her father, who was a farmer by
occupation, spent his entire life in Jefferson county.
His widow still resides there and has reached the advanced
age of eighty-two years. Five children were born unto
Mr. and Mrs. Love: Nellie H., who is now
a teacher in the Sangamon street school in Decatur; Mary,
who occupies a position as private secretary in the Boys'
School in Lake Forest, Illinois; Louella, who is a
stenographer and teacher in Brown's Business College of
Decatur; Florence, who is at home with her mother;
and one that died unnamed in infancy.
After his marriage Mr. Love engaged in general
farming in Champaign county until 1893, when he came to
Decatur and established a mattress factory near his home
which is now occupied by his widow. In the new
enterprise he prospered and continued in the business up to
the time of his death. He did excellent work and
secured a liberal patronage, his products finding a ready
sale in the market. In business affairs he was
strictly reliable and he became a well known and respected
representative of trade interests in the city. He was
energetic, a man of firm purpose and strong will and in all
his dealings with his fellow men he was upright and
honorable. In his political views he was an earnest
Republican, believing firmly in the party and its principles
yet never seeking office. Both he and his wife were
members of the Presbyterian church of Decatur and his life
was in harmony with its teachings. He died Jan. 18,
1898, leaving not only a comfortable competence to his widow
but also an honorable name. Mrs. Love now
occupies a beautiful home at No. 812 North College street,
where she resides with her daughters. They are well
known in Decatur, and enjoy the favor and friendship of many
a household here.
