William Leslie Jack, of Crow Wing lake, age 89 years, died early this morning of heart trouble following an illness of a year and a half. He had made his home for 20 years or more with his son, William Leslie Jack, Jr.
He was born in Washington county, New York, May 21, 1840. He came to Johnstown, Wis., when he was five years old, his father entering business there. He came to Brainerd in August 1870 when not a building existed in the town. Only the preliminary survey of the railroad was in evidence. There was a little dugout on the riverbank where some contractor had some knockdown wheelbarrows stored.
He followed the sawmill industry for years and was employed as a sawyer and later as a millwright. He was married in 1876 to Miss Phoebe Martin and to them one son was born. After the sawmills removed from Brainerd he engaged in farming in Fort Ripley township. His wife died 19 years ago, and he will be buried beside her at Evergreen cemetery.
The funeral will be held at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from the First Presbyterian church, Rev. A. G. Patterson officiating. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 03 December 1929, p. 7, c. 3)
