 | Leslie and Margaret Bancroft Deitz at their 50th wedding anniversary celebration .. the celebration was held at the Delevan Avenue Baptist Church, Buffalo, NY. Margaret was very active in this congregation, and served for many years as a Deaconess (I believe that was her title.) It is now known as the Second Temple Baptist Church. |

 | Leslie Deitz .. this photograph is labeled "Professor Dietz." Whomever applied the label was not a Deitz family member, as we would have never spelled it "Dietz" (although some branches did).
It appears that this picture was taken on the Cheektowaga, Erie, NY farm. |

 | Leslie Deitz at their chicken farm. .. from some time in the late 1940's and earlier, Leslie and Margaret had a chicken farm in Cheektowaga, Erie, NY. It was located on the south side of Genesee St., directly south of the Buffalo International Airport. At the time it was a semirural area; now the site contains hotels and other commercial enterprises. I do not think they owned the property. |
