I've "rescued" an old photograph of Leslie PITCHER which was taken at the
Al
Ennor Studio in Neillsville, Wisconsin. The photograph appears to have been
taken in the 1880's with Leslie appearing to be about 5-6 years old at the
time it was taken. Based on limited research and thanks to a PITCHER Family
Researcher I was able to gather the following information regarding Leslie
and his family:
Leslie PITCHER was the son of Dr. Henry A. & Alma PITCHER, born in
Neillsville, WI. He was educated as a dentist like his father, but did not
practice dentistry for long. Leslie married Leona ? And died in 1948 in
Terre Haute, IN.

I am hoping to locate someone from this PITCHER Family, so that this
beautiful old photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family.
If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please
contact me.
Thanks,
