McLellan, a native of Thomaston, Me., aged 83 years 10 months and 17 days. The funeral will take place at 5 p.m. This Day from her late residence, 128 Washington St.

  Burial	3 Aug 1890	Lafayette Cemetery #1, New Orleans, Louisiana
  Notes	Also living in her household in 1860 is her sister Elsie. A key reference for her family is The Levensalers of Waldoboro Maine, by Walter Levensaler. This is a huge help for the early immigrants, and the family bible records. The study has, however, contains a major mistake in that her husband WHP McLellan is given the 1842 death date of his father William McLellan. As a result, many of the children of WHP and Leonora are not accounted for there. She is buried in the McLellan tomb in Lafayette Cemetery. She apparently loathed the New Orleans weather, and didn't want to be buried in its soil, so she had some good Maine earth shipped south for her tomb. Here is the inscription: IN MEMORY OF LEONORA LEVENSALER WIFE OF W.H. McLELLAN BORN SEPT. 15, 1803 DIED AUG. 2, 1890
