John Leach

John Leach was a tailor in the village in 1837, in a frame building where Ridenour & Bake's store now is. One of the most distinguished of the early citizens of College Corner was General Ambrose Burnside, who was a tailor here before 1835. General Burnside is remembered by some of the oldest citizens as at that time being a very promising young man.
