  • Notes 
    • Lee was born in Scottsville, Pennsylania because his father, John McVicker was helping Hiram Redmond, his wife's grandfather, on his farm in the town of Scottsville. John and Edith lived in Edith's parents house at the time. This took place during the period between when John worked at the Euwing's and the Burnham Boiled Company. When Lee was three years of age he was severely burned as a result of playing with matches. According to his sister, Mary McVicker Youngs Mary (McVicker) Youngs recalls that at two years of age her brother Lee, set the apartment on fire. Mary's mother Edith, had put the children to bed for their afternoon nap. Edith's parents, Estelle and Charles Holden, were moving from Pond Eddy to Irvington into the same apartment building one floor below. Edith had gone down to their apartment to help her put their beds together. The neighbor across the hall from Edith's apartment smelled smoke coming from their apartment. She ran downstairs to get Edith. They ran up to the apartment to find that Lee had locked the door. The children were saved but Lee was severely burned. He had major burns on his back and thighs. In high school he was voted the "Best Dressed" boy in school. Upon graduation from Union-Endicott High School, he went to work for the Endicott Johnson Shoe Company in Endicott, New York. He worked there for two years and then went to work for the International Business Machines Company in Endicott as the World War II was beginning. When Lee and Dot were married the only guests invited to the wedding were the parents and attendents.
