His parents were John and Matilda (Granger) Leblank, the father a native of Vermont, the mother of Massachusetts. The parents of the father came from Nova Scotia, settling in Vermont. The parents of our subject had eight children, Joseph, Mose, Mary, Matilda, Peter, Louis, John and Victorine.

John, our subject, was reared in Vermont and received his schooling at Winooski Falls. He began life on his own account at the age of thirteen years, becoming an expert telegraph operator, and this profession he followed in various railroads until 1880, when he came to the west coast. He conducted hotels in Seattle, Whatcom and other Sound cities, and in 1890 located in Stevens county. Subsequently he went to Rossland where he remained four years, and in 1896 selected his present location and engaged in mining. He purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land, which he has improved and in a most eligible location. He cultivates one hundred and twenty acres, which is all fenced and supplied with good water.
