He began working for himself at the early age of fourteen years as an agriculturist, and this continued to be his principal occupation up to 1884, when he began practicing medicine. Previous to this, however, when but eighteen years of age, he began reading medicine, and this continued for three years, when he attended lectures in Iowa for two years. He completed the same in 1884, and immediately entered upon the practice of his profession. The same year Miss C. Peters became his wife, and three interesting children have followed this union: S. Ellen, Burdett and John V., all of whom are alive and enjoying good health. Mrs. Leslie's parents were S.B. and Artie Peters.
