Biographical history
The Rev. Elinor Katherine Harwood Leard was born October 20, 1922 in Raleigh Township. Elinor was educated at the University of Western Ontario (1938-1942); Radcliffe College (1942-1943); UCTS (1944-1945); Emmanuel College (1944-1949); Cheshunt College, Cambridge (1949-1950); Columbia University (1956-1957).

In 1964 Rev. Elinor Leard taught Latin, English and Library in Oakville and Etobicoke until 1988 when she retired.
