In April 1871, Judge John M. Waldron and Capt. James Clinton Braden sold their general store business at 310 North Sibley to L. S. Weymouth and Greenleaf. Weymouth sold his interest in the grocery business to a man named LaCross in August 1871. Greenleaf eventually bought out LaCross and changed the store over to a hardware store. In 1874, he was appointed receiver of the United States Land office in Litchfield and continued in that office, having been reappointed in 1878, until 1879, when he resigned. In August 1874, Rosa Mary Stanton put a new building on the front of the lot at 242-244 North Sibley and William Henry Greenleaf rented it for the Greenleaf Real Estate Office. The Greenleaf hardware store moved to 207 North Sibley in March 1877. W. P. Todd, a brother of J. G. Todd who had a dry goods store in town, bought the twenty-five by sixty-foot two-story building from Greenleaf in September 1877, who moved to another Sibley location.
