Leah Margaret Duprey Jacobson 
26 April 1909, Au Sable Forks, Clinton County, New York
2 June 1952, Colonie, Albany County, New York



Leah Duprey Jacobson is my maternal grand aunt. My mother, Sharyn Ann Senecal Coughlin, was only 7 when Aunt Leah died but remembered how sad everyone was that summer. I remember my mother saying she always thought Aunt Leah and her name were beautiful.

I was able to find a death notice for Aunt Leah:
