Anthony was born in 1908 in Chicago as the fifth child of Edward Leep and Jennie De Vries.

The Leep families moved in 1911 from Chicago to Canada and settled in or near the tiny Dutch community of Cramersburg, in the southwestern part of the of southern central Canadian province Saskatchewan. See for much more info and photos of Cramersburg: http://www.calvin.edu/hh/origins/Spring89.pdf

In 1923 Anthony's family had to leave Cramersburg because of drought and crop failures and moved to Highland, Lake County, in the northwestern part of Indiana, adjacent to Cook County and Chicago in Illinois.

His mother Jennie alias Katie died in 1924 at the age of about 45 years, likely in or near Lansing, Illinois, about 6 miles west of Highland, Lake County, Indiana.

In Highland came quite some Dutch settlers after the construction of a railroad.

Anthony Leep married on 7 May 1941 to Jeanette Zandstra. They had Verna Jean, Carl William and Anthony John, born in 1946 in Highland, as children.
