As a youth, he attended Westmorland schools, performed chores around the family farm, and worked summers at “the big hotel” at Lake Stafford. Prior to the 1910 Leslie left home and took room and board in the Keene area, working as a salesman in a clothing store, probably Brown’s Haberdashery in Keene, NH (1910 census, Leslie age 19 listed as a salesman in a clothing store). Around 1914 he moved to Greenfield and worked in Rosen’s clothing store. He later moved to Shea Brother’s clothing store, which became Shea & Farr when he bought a half interest, and then L.E. Farr in 1922 when he bought out the Shea’s interests completely.

Leslie was a slight man probably no more then 130 pounds- and susceptible to illness. He had suffered from the very dangerous flu epidemic during the world war one, after he moved to Greenfield, and almost died, had his landlady not nursed him back to health. Around 1933 he contracted tuberculosis from a young man who worked in his store. Leslie spent many years fighting the disease, as well as Scarlet Fever contracted in 1946, and had to take in a series of partners to help manage the store. Dave Bartlett was Leslie’s first partner (Farr & Bartlett) and Art Willard (Farr & Willard) became the second. Art bought the store after Leslie died in 1948. Art maintained the store in the Mansion House until fire destroyed the building in the 1950’s. Both Leslie and Genevieve are buried in Middlebury, VT.
