Oregonian April 15, 1917
Mrs. George Leslie on the eve of her 75th birthday entertained about 40 friends in the Oddfellows' Hall March 31st. Her friends took this occasion to present her with a beautiful gift. Mayor George W. Stapleton made the presentation speech and read a poem expressing the regard in which she is held. Mrs. Leslie has been a resident of Eastern Multnomah County for 40 years and was a charter member of the Multnomah Grange when it was organized about 35 years ago. She transferred to the Gresham Grange when moving here a few years ago. Mrs. Leslie is remarkably well and socially active. She is described as the "youngest old lady" in Gresham. She is the mother of nine children and has 12 grandchildren.
