Excerpts from his obituary from the Lesley-Leslie book by Ruth Cleveland Leslie (1956): "... an old, honored pioneer. Uncle Pharmer Leslie died at his home on John's Creek in this county (Floyd County then and Pike County now) on the 22nd day of last month (October 1883) aged 80 years and six months... short illness in which inflamation of the bowels was the chief trouble... retained his memory up to the day of his death. Pharmer Leslie was the first white child ever born in the present limits of Pike County. He has figured so actively in the affairs of the County, that he is known far and near. Superior natural intelligence, mother-wit, and unaccountable culture for one reared in the backwoods often made him the admiration and amusement of neighbors and strangers. His knowledge of Law and Scriptures was remarkable. It was quite usual for the good old fathers to be a little rude in their manner, though honest in every impulse. To this rule he was a noted exception, being himself as modest and refined as a woman. Uncle Pharmer was proverbial for unstinted hospitality. His home was a welcome and pleasant shelter for all without price. No beggar ever went unfed from his door. His wife preceded him only a few years and he has been like one lost ever since. He was one of a family of 16 children, most of whom lived to be very old. All are dead but Aunt Luna Bevins. We extend our sympathy to the sorrowing ones."
