Leonard/Leonardo Charles Catri was born in Italy in 1869. He emigrated in the early 1900s to the USA. By the time of the 1910 U.S. Census, he was residing in Huron, Ohio with his wife Angeline, several children, and two boarders. His occupation was that of a railroad worker. Eventually Mr. Catri became a labor foreman at the railroad. On Friday, October 3, 1913, Leonard Catri was killed in a tragic accident at the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway ore docks at Huron, Ohio. An article in the October 4, 1913 issue of the Sandusky Register stated that Mr. Catri was so well known, that he was called the "King of Little Italy." Leonard Catri's funeral was held at the Catholic Church in Huron, and he was buried at St. Anthony Cemetery in Milan, Ohio.
