Leon Schleisinger Residence / Slinger Dairy

Herman, Joseph's oldest son, purchased the house at 303 Kettle Moraine Dr. S. in 1922. That house had been built by B. Schleisinger Weil for Leon Schleisinger in 1860. Leon owned it until 1868. It was later purchased by Valentine Fischer who used the basement in his undertaking business. Herman ran the Slinger Dairy from a shed behind the house from 1922 until the business was discontinued in 1942. He married Sarah Tennies in 1923. She died in 1942 at age 40 and Herman passed away in 1964. Herman and Sarah had five children, three of whom live in Slinger today. Dorothy Doll is married to Norman, a former village president. Dorothy and Norman built the house at 306 Oak St. in 1947 and lived there until 1952. They eventually moved back to live with Herman and purchased the house at 303 Kettle Moraine Dr. S. when Herman passed away in 1964.
