Sinclair, Leon Chester (page 778), the enterprising proprietor of a
successful moving picture theatre in Lake City, was born in this city July
24, 1887, son of Colin and Margaret M. (Olider) Sinclair. He was educated
in the local schools and subsequently took a course in pharmacy in
Wisconsin. For several years he resided in La Crosse, taking up his
residence there in 1907. Three years later, in July, 1910, his father,
proprietor of a lumber business in Lake City, died, and Leon C. and his
brother Earl subsequently conducted the business together until 1914, when
they sold it. Earl then engaged in the grocery business in Lake City, and
for two years Leon worked for him as clerk. In 1916 the subject of this
sketch entered into the moving picture business in Lake City, and since
that time has been proprietor of a theatre on the corner of Lyon avenue
and Main street. Mr. Sinclair is a York Rite Mason, and has advanced in
the order as far as the Commandery, being also a noble of the Mystic
Shrine. He also belongs in the Odd Fellows, in which order he has passed
through the chairs. Politically he is a Republican. On October 9, 1911, he
was united in marriage with Maude Cook, daughter of Edward and Mary Cook,
of La Crosse Wis.
