Leslie was born in Indiana in 1885. In 1906 he married Irene Bodanske and by 1910 they had two small daughters. In 1920, Leslie shows up as a member of his parents' household, though still married, while Irene and their three daughters (another was born circa 1915) are listed in a separate household. That suggests a separation, and indeed by 1930 they had divorced. Leslie may have remarried and moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1940 Irene described herself as widowed, and I can find no trace of Leslie.
