The study’s reading
2. Bates County Record, Sat 6 Sep 1884, p. 3 (999273745). The Republican county convention's list of delegates is set out by township. Under Pleasant Gap a name reads "…Hagenauer", and the initial could not be read. Probable: his brother Martin also lived in the township, but Leonhard was the party's nominee for county treasurer that autumn.
