Harry Dean Leinenweber
Died Saturday, July 13, 2002 at Salem Village at the age of 100 years. born October 19, 1901 and raised on a farm outside Madison, IN. After graduating from Hanover College in 1921, he taught for a few years, then entered graduate school at the University of Chicago. In 1929 he interrupted his studies to teach history at the Joliet Township High School and Junior College, and (partly as a result of the Depression) was never able to complete his doctorate. He remained at JTHS and JJC until 1969, when he went with the Junior College to its new site on Houbolt Road as head of the Social Studies Department. After his retirement in 1970 he continued to lead a Great Books discussion group that he had formed in 1946, and to share his knowledge of the Bible in talks at local churches.
In 1931, Harry Leinenweber married Miss Emily Lennon, a member of the Adler and Lennon families that played an important role in Joliet's history. After her death in 1987 he lived alone until 1991, when he moved to Salem Village. There he was looked after by his former student, Patricia Perley Pillard, as by a daughter.
Mr. Leinenweber is survived by his sons, John of New Haven, CT and Judge Harry Daniel (Lynn Martin) of Chicago. Five grandchildren, Jane Campeau of Byron Center, MI, John (Tara) of Chicago, Thomas (Martha) of Evanston, Stephen (Dana) of Carrboro, NC and Justin of Chicago; and 13 great grandchildren. The family was united on October 19, 2001 for his 100th birthday, which was celebrated at Salem Village.
