Wendall lived with his youngest daughter Susan from about 1987. When the family was around, he would sometimes tell stories about life on the farm when he was growing up. There were cows on the farm. They used a machine to milk them and sent the milk out by train about once a week. When asked about other animals, he mentioned two work horses and then was silent for awhile. After about five minutes he said "Oh, and about 200 hundred hens." They sold the eggs. They also grew maple trees for the syrup and apple trees. The boys slept upstairs in the cold attic. They slept two to a bed and used stones heated on the woodstove to warm the bed. He said that his brothers didn't grow up to be farmers. One worked for the railroad, and two worked in a garage. I'm not sure about the other one. He talked about a Frenchmen that helped out on the farm for a little while. He would catch rabbits and eat them and offer them to Wendall. He didn't like it. Wendall's father had a dog that would chase 'coons. One night he treed one and wouldn't leave it until Wendall's father came out and shot the 'coon.

Steadily he has forged to the front and has long since occupied a commanding position in his chosen field of labor. It was in association with his three brothers---Eben E., Fred A. and J. LeRoy Leighton---that he organized the firm of H. N. Leighton & Company, under which style their operations were carried on until 1892, when the business was incorporated under the present name of the H. N. Leighton Company. Eben E.
