Leeper, 1858-1950, prominent person and local historian, was born in Monongah-Thoburn, Marion County, West Virginia.  Leeper was a descendant of an early Revolutionary War veteran, Nathaniel Cochran, 1757-1808, whose life and captivity by indigenous peoples Leeper recorded and gave speeches about.  He taught in the Marion County school system for eleven years after graduating from Fairmont Normal School and was employed for 45 years in Consolidated Coal's store.  He was considered to be an expert on Marion County history, particularly Monongah and Grant districts.  He was also a genealogist and worked on many family histories from requests.  ","Leeper was married to Martha Nye and they had two children.  He was a member of the West Fork Baptist Church, the I.O.O.F. lodge, the Modern Woodsmen, the Marion County Historical Society, and the Monongah Good Will Club.

Some of the ledgers show marriage and death records of pupils. Other miscellaneous documents incude teacher certificates, agreements, deeds, road petitions, and land and crop agreements.
