@Clifford Alan Sisson--marriage record for Leonard and Christina is available at https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-12060-22873-57?cc=1452....  It gives his parents' names, etc. (If the link doesn't take you directly there, start at familysearch.org/search/.)

If you follow him through the censuses, you can see he lived:

Leonard's death info at https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N35P-DC3, although record is not viewable but you should be able to obtain from the county.
