Evidently Leslie was an unique individual. According to a story told by my great aunt Opal
Leslie Chambers the family were in the house one particular day when suddenly the sound
of squealing pigs could be heard outside. When the family went outside to investigate, they
found Leslie in the hog pen beating the hogs with a switch. When Leslie was asked what he
was doing, he said that he was loosening their skins as it was hog killing time.
