Who was John Slater?
Summary
John Slater was the younger brother to
William Slater and became a school teacher. Later in his life, he styled himself as
Dr and we assume he qualified as a PhD as we have not information suggesting he took any medical training.
Among his life long ambitions was to be an artist and he spent much time and money attending exhibitions in London with the intention of improving his skills.
One of his paintings remains in the possession of the family.
