  • Notes: 

  • Leonard Gyllenhaal's cause of death on his death certificate indicates that he committed “suicide while temporarily mentally deranged” from “strangulation by hanging.”

    Leonard Gyllenhaal's death certificate lists his birthdate incorrectly as 09 FEB 1882, but this same date has the year crossed out on his church burial record and is replaced with the correct year of 1881.

    In 1910, he was listed in the census as a Professor of the English Language.
