Carrying Place, in
Prince Edward County, Ontario. Some years later, Leveridge took up business life in
Toronto, but poor health obliged her in 1922 to relinquish this and return home. and "A Cry from the Canadian Hills" (for
The Daily Ontario) were written by Leveridge as a tribute to her brother, Corporal Frank E. Leveridge, a member of the Thirty-ninth Canadian Battalion, who was
wounded in action and died in France during
World War I. "Over the Hills of Home" became the title poem for a slender volume,
Over the Hills of Home, And Other Poems (
E. P. Dutton & Co., 1918) of a score or more of poems which were of varying mood and of simple structure and sincere feeling. This was the first of six books published between 1918 and 1939. Leveridge contributed short stories, articles, and poems to various periodicals. These included at least three published by
Brantford's
The Expositor ("The Way of the British", 1914; "Bob-o-Link", 1923; and "Hymn of Peace", 1937); and another three published in 1924 by
The Windsor Star ("When the Lights Go Out", "Pipes of Pan", and "Gradation"). "Beckoning Worlds" was published in
Canadian Poetry Magazine and reprinted in
The Gazette, 1948. "I Would See Jesus" was published in
The Canadian Churchman and reprinted in
The Sun Times, 1939. Additional periodicals who published her verses included "Summer in the Heart" (

Vernon News, 1931).
