On 2 May 1903 Winnie Gladys Carpenter Leonard and Frederick George Leonard welcomed their first child into the world. Her name was Winnifred Olive Leonard. She was born in Sugar Grove, Kane County, Illinois. This child would eventually be called "Aunt Fred" by her nieces and nephews.
Aunt Fred's sisters were:
Lenoir Inez Leonard (also known as Bobbie). She was born on 30 May 1904 in Sugar Grove, Kane County, Illinois.
Ione Gertrude Leonard (also known as Billie). She was born 30 July 1906, possibly in Kane County Illinois.
Early on in life Aunt Fred was diagnosed with a severe form of scoliosis. Because there was no surgical intervention at that point and time she carried this malady throughout her life. Her parents believed that their daughter was suffering this deformity to punish them for something that that they had done during their lives.

Aunt Fred was born with severe scoliosis which apparently was evident at birth. Her parents believed that they had done something that was very wrong and that God was punishing them with disforming their daughter.
Aunt Fred never married. She did have a boyfried whose name I do not know. Her parents disapproved of him and ended the relationship.Aunt Fred Circa 1927 Madera High
