Leigh, J.T., Little Falls, is a native of Toronto, Canada, but has lived 
nearly all his life in the United States.  He began his business career as a 
book-keeper, spent some time in teaching, and was several years in the Little

managed it so successfully that he now runs the largest canal supply store 
between Syracuse and Albany, as well as being senior partner in the large 
grocery and meat firm of E.M. Walrath & Company on Ann street.  Mr. Leigh has 
also been connected with other enterprises, and was some years secretary and 
treasurer of the Superior Furnace Company.  He is a man of good business 
abilities and held a seat in the board of education of Little Falls for 
several years.  He has also served as police and fire commissioner, notary
