INFO FROM FRANK LESLIE: My father, John Nathan Leslie, was born May 15, 1870. My mother, Elsie Elizabeth Schletzbaum, was born May 17, 1891, making her 21 years younger than my dad. I am the youngest of 8 children and my father was 60 years old when I was born. Much of the family history has come pretty direct to me, so I believe it is pretty accurate back to about 1800.

John married Elsie Elizabeth SCHLETZBAUM on 1 Dec 1910 in Falls City, Richardson Co, NE.¹ (Elsie Elizabeth SCHLETZBAUM was born on 17 May 1891 in Sapinero, Gunnison Co, CO ³ and died on 14 Apr 1987 in Hospital, Topeka, Shawnee Co, KS ³.)
