Emma Cecelia Stine was born in the Rising Sun, Wood County, Ohio, on November 4, 1868. She was the seventh of John and Elizabeth (Krauft) Stine's ten children.
While working as a farmhand for Emma's brother, William, Leo got to know Emma. On Tuesday, February 17, 1903, Leo and Emma tied the knot at St. Joseph's Church in Tiffin, Ohio. Together, they reared three boys and one daughter — Vincent Ignatious, James Louis, Cletice Leona, and Martin Leo. Leo cultivated his own acreage near Hopewell.
Leo was employed during the Great Depression as a night watchman at the Great Western Pottery Company. Leo died on October 22, 1959, in Tiffin, Ohio, at the age of 80, and interned at St. Joseph’s Cemetery. Emma died of a cerebral hemorrhage on November 28, 1944 and buried alongside Leo.
