CHET LEAVITT
History of Ariozna, page 472

The largest and best equipped garage in northeastern Arizona is that 
owned by Chet Leavitt at Holbrook, where he is meeting with well 
deserved success.  He was born in Worcester, Massachusetts on 
March 6, 1882 and is a son of Charles and Celia Belle (Hill) 
Leavitt.  His father was an expert machinist, at which trade 
he was employed in Worcester and Boston. Mr. Leavitt was educated 
in the public schools of Somerville Mass. and in 1898 went to 
work in a wholesale fruit and produce house. In the following 
year he went to New York City and in 1900 went to Albuquerque, 
New Mexico where he found employment in A.J. Moloy's Grocery 
Store. In 1901 he located in Gallup, New Mexico where he became 
connected with the C.N. Cototn Company by whom he was employed 
as a stockman and in trading with the Indians. He proved a 
capable man in that line of buisness which he followed until 
1919 when he came to Ariozna, where he was similarly engaged 
until 1922.  Since the latter year he has been engaged in the 
automobile buisness in Holbrook where he owns a modern and well 
arranged garage.

On Feb. 19, 1903 Mr. Leavitt was married to Julia Meagher, of 
Gallup New Mexico and they are the parents of a daughter, Dorothy 
who is a graduate of the Teachers College at Flagstaff.
