Joseph Leonard was the first merchant in Eden. Hitherto the people had been going to Delaware to buy the few goods required to satisfy their limited wants ; but Leonard now accommodated them nearer home. He had the trade all to himself until 1838, when Williams & Loofbourrow opened a store, and thus created competition. A large and handsome schoolhouse was erected in 1840, to accommodate the growing population, and is still in use, though having been in the meantime thoroughly renovated and remodeled.

Letter written from George and Elizabeth(Leonard) White to S. Fordyce 23 Mar 1851.
"Aunt Nancy is still living altho her health is very poor . Her and Joseph's wife does not agree very well although Aunt not to blame. And had it not been that Permelia and the two boys agreed to live un part of the house with aunt we do not know what would become of her. Permelia is still single and we hope she will remain so while aunt lives."
