Jan. 20, 2011 - Jim R. Wilson moved to Texas in 1875 as a lad of 13 years, living in the Valley Creek area with his family. In 1880, when the foundation stones of the City of Leonard were laid, he sought employment and went to work for the Thomas and Saxon livery stable. In 1888, Jim went into business for himself, opening a furniture store and undertaking parlor on the west side of the square, located where the Leonard Family Dentistry and Leonard Chiropractic offices are currently.

Jan. 20, 2011 - Taxpayers within the City of Leonard may notice a change on their 2010 tax bill. At some point, an error was made and some residents started receiving the Homestead Exemption, despite no resolution allowing it from the city council. Recently, a new computer system was initiated at the tax office that caught the error, and the city and tax office are now taking the necessary steps to correct it. City council members voted last Tuesday night to pass a resolution forbidding the appraisal district to apply the exemption.
