Obituary of Thomas L. Homestead
Thomas Ledyard Homestead of Tully was born on February 15, 1948 to Margaret Settle Homestead and Robert T. Homestead in Ogdensburg, New York.

He is survived by his wife Kathleen Hallinan Homestead, daughters Anna (David) Voigt, Rebecca (Denis) Ten Eyck, and his son Thomas William Homestead. He is also survived by his brothers Robert, Peter and Charles Homestead, several grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
