You should look at the book by Dan Deluca who researched the Letherman extensively. I knew Dan and went on a couple of hikes with him to some of the Leatherman caves.
Supposedly, the Letherman was buried in a cemetery in NY but when they dug him up to move the grave for road expansion there was nothing there.

Hey, thanks for linking to my story! I pride myself on trying to be accurate, but if you're interested, I highly recommend Dan DeLuca's book The Old Leatherman. Dan did a tremendous amount of research, collecting original newspaper accounts from the time.
It's a fascinating story.
