    Biography:
    John came over from Orkney Islands, Scotland with his wife in 1850 and settled on a farm near Appleton,Wisconsin. Elizabeth turned a room of their house into a school and was the first white teacher in Outagamie County. Her pay was $6.00 a year. She also kept the post office and raised several children.
    "The first school meeting in the town was held at the house of Peter Hephner. Seven votes were cast. Peter Hephner was elected treasurer; N. M. Hephner, clerk; William Byrnes, director. Mrs. Leith taught the first three months for $25. She was a woman of education and refinement, and says a pupil taught the first two terms of school in her home: "There was a partition across the house separating us from the kitchen. There were no desks nor school furniture; we sat in chairs; our writing lessons, as well as our 'sums,' were done on our slates. There were eight or nine pupils representing the Cotter, McMillan and two Barry families." The curriculum was "Readin', Ritin' and Rithmetic, taught to the tune of a hick'ry stick," but Mrs. Leith, the best woman in the world, kept her stick out of sight behind the door. "The first term was, I think, in the fall of 1852, and was followed by a spring term, and established District No. 1, securing thereby the school money from the state. A log schoolhouse was then built not far from the corners.There was a plank along the wall for a desk on which to do our writing; in front of that were seats for the pupils; the seats and desk, as well as the teacher's desk, were made of rough boards. The whole outfit, house and furniture, cost forty dollars." their son John A. Leith who came with them from Scotland at age 5, grew up to be the Suerintendent of Outagamie Schools before moving to Alliance, Nebraska.
