Leader Church
Here is some info I dug up on the Leader Church. "John Dzuris deeded three acres to Leader Methodist Episcopal Church in November 1918. At that time the trustees were J.T. Hamilton, Charles Gieck, W.H. Stroud, J.P. Hamilton, E.A. Vaulian, O.H.P. Stroud, and L.J. Stamps. The parsonage was built in 1926, but it was sold and moved in 1947. In 1942, two congregations, Leader and Edison, merged. The first known burial was in 1920 and the most recent was in 1964. A 1971 extraction by Athlyn Luzier was published in the Colorado Genealogist, volume 33, page 100. It does list additional relationships. In 1972 the local 4-H Club placed small concrete markers at each grave. Scratched onto the markers, the surnames are now difficult to read. Services in the church ended in 1979 and the building is deteriorating. There are no established visiting hours or regular maintenance. Farms and ranches bordered by dirt road surround the cemetery on this windy plain."
