Stephen Henry Leighton was born November 16, 1834, and passed away at 12 1/2 years of age, on May 8, 1847. He was the second of 13 children, and first son, born to Robert and Cynthia (Morse) Leighton of West Cumberland, Maine. As such, he was my 2d great grandfather's brother. He is buried in the "Universalist churchyard,"* commonly referred to as the West Cumberland Church/Univeralist Cemetery on the Gray Road. I have not found out how or why he died.
