General Notes: Husband - Lester D. Leech

He resided with his parents until reaching manhood, and obtained a good English education. In the spring of 1877 he and James Loutzenhiser each purchased an interest in the queensware store of D. D. Lynn & Co., of Greenville, and the firm name was changed to Artherholt & Co. In December, 1881, Mr. Leech sold out to his partners, and in March, 1882, purchased a half interest in the grocery house of L. L. Kamerer, and the firm of Kamerer & Leech was established. This lasted till February, 1884, when the partnership was dissolved. The following October Mr. Leech bought out the grocery store of R. C. McClure & Son.
