Notes for John Franklin Leise:
The congregation of the Free Methodist Church was organized in 1895 by Rev. C. H. Sage, of Michigan, and the church building which is now being used as a place of worship was built during the pastorate of Rev. W. W. Dexter, in 1901. The present pastor is Rev. J. F. Leise, who came here recently from Blaine, WA. The congregation is not large, but what it lacks in numbers the members make up in activity. The church has a very active foreign missionary society. Rev. J. F. Leise and his estimable wife, while only a short time residents of Edmonds, have been recipients of many congratulations for their intelligent and earnest work in the church. They are so gracefully indulgent in their home life that incidental caller feels himself or herself welcome the moment they are bidden to enter the door. This article was a photo copy of a page from the Edmonds Historical Library. The name and page number are unknown. A picture of the parsonage was on the same page.
