  • Notes 
    • LEEDS, JOHN HENRY was a graduate of Queen's University in 1915. The Galt reporter mentioned him in 1916 and 1919, in connection with visits to his parents in Galt, but referring to his location as Wellandport. He later practised at Smithville, but there is no evidence that he ever practised in Galt. The Queen's Alumni Association stated that he retired in 1956, and died in Mount Hope, Ont. on November 20, 1973.
