General Notes: Husband - Abraham Lesher


For twenty-four years he was a farmer in Antrim township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. In 1877 he removed to the old Lesher homestead in Guilford township. He was one of the large landowners of the county. Besides caring for his farms he was for over a half century a veterinary surgeon. In early life he was a Whig in politics and was a Republican after the organization of that party. He became a member of the Mennonite Church more than fifty years ago and has been a trustee for over forty years.
