Nancy Allison Leete (c. 1846-1906) was born in Canada and died in Brattleboro, Vermont. By 1860 she was living and working as a domestic servant in Roxbury, Massachusetts, and by 1880 she lived in Boston, Massachusetts. There she took Christian Science Sunday school classes from Henry P. Bailey and later studied with Clara E. Choate and Josephine C. Woodbury, all three of whom were Mary Baker Eddy's students. From 1886 to 1888 she advertised as a Christian Science practitioner in the Boston Globe. Then she moved to Albany, Vermont, and advertised in the Orleans Monitor, and in the early 1890s she moved to Manchester, New Hampshire, and advertised in its City Directory. Leete joined The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston on March 31, 1894, and thereafter she was listed as a practitioner in The Christian Science Journal, first in Manchester (1895), then Boston (1896), then East Orange, New Jersey (1898-1899), then Albany, Vermont (1900).
