Read More	From the 1914 book History of Franklin County Iowa: Edmund Slee occupies a commodious, beautiful and attractive home on Franklin street in Hampton, where he has lived since retiring from active business life. Industry, perseverance and energy have been the salient features in his life record and have brought to him the measure of prosperity which enables him to live retired. He was born in England, July 4, 1828, and is a son of Robert and Margaret (Foster) Slee, who were natives of the same country and have long since passed away. In their family were thirteen children. This number included Elizabeth, now deceased; Edmund; Robert, who died in Hampton February 7, l912.; Hislop, still living in England; and William deceased. Edmund Slee spent his youthful days in his native land and at the age of fifteen years took up the active work of the farm. He was a young man of twenty-three years when in 1851 he became a resident of Wisconsin, having determined to try his fortune in the new world, of the advantages and opportunities of which he had heard much. For two years he lived in the Badger state and then went to California, hoping to benefit by the discovery of gold on the coast. For eight years he engaged in mining and then returned to Wisconsin, where he remained until 1864. In that year he drove an ox team from Wisconsin to Montana, thence to British Columbia and afterward returned to Montana, where he remained for fourteen years engaged in farming. In 1880 he arrived in Iowa, settling on a farm in Franklin township. For a considerable period he was identified with general agricultural pursuits here but in the evening of life disposed of all of his farm land and purchased a fine home on Franklin street, which he now occupies. His extensive travels over the west brought him wide experience and broad and interesting knowledge concerning the country, and he relates many pleasing anecdotes of his travels. Mr. Slee was united in marriage to Miss Hannah Graham, now deceased. They were the parents of seven children: Margaret, the wife of James Sheets, of Franklin county; Alvinza, the wife of C. Koch, of Marion township; Robert Foster, also living in this county; William Albert, deceased; Ida, the wife of Fred Nancolas, formerly of Reeve township, now of Hampton; and Ella and Hannah, both at home. For his second wife Mr. Slee chose Miss Jane Robinson, and they became the parents of four children: Mary, Elizabeth, Belle and Clarrie, all at home. A republican in politics, Mr. Slee filled the office of township trustee but has never been an office seeker, preferring to give his public service as a private citizen. In religious belief he is a Methodist, and his life has been guided by the teachings of the, church, making him an upright, honorable man; whom to know is to respect. -------------------------- Name: Edmund Slee Death Date: 1920 Page #: 78 Birth Date: 1828 Cemetery: 92 Level Info: Grave Records of Franklin County, Iowa
