William Leet was a San Jose real estate and insurance salesman, and manager for the Salsina Packing and Canning Company during 1919. Leet was born in Wisconsin in 1874, but moved to California by 1900. He married Winifred McLaughlin, the daughter of Edward McLaughlin, who was the owner of the San Jose Safe Deposit Bank[1].

In 1919, Leet was the treasurer and general manager for [[[Salsina Packing and Canning Company]]. His obituary also claims he was a land buyer for the Southern Pacific.
