General Notes: Husband - Robert M. Leslie

---

He learned the carpenter trade in 1865, and from then on, for thirty years, worked as a carpenter and contractor. This work took him all over the county, and he was not only concerned in the construction of many fine buildings, but made many friends both of a political and personal character. In 1898 he bought a store and settled down in a home in Moravia, and on June 17, 1899, was made postmaster. He continued in the general mercantile business until January 1, 1908, when he sold the business to his son.
For many years Mr. Leslie was active in politics. It was through his undivided efforts that the first bridge was erected across the Beaver River at Moravia. He was the first to petition to have North Beaver divided into two election districts, which eventually became four districts. He was also the first petitioner for free mail service. He filled local offices and was the candidate for county commissioner at the Republican primaries in 1908 and lost the election by only 102 votes out of 11,000 cast. He was a member of the order of Odd Fellows.
