General Notes: Husband - Christian D. Lesher

---

He lost his father by death when he was in his minority. He then made his home with his sister Nancy Shank, in Guilford township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and sold books in Maryland and Virginia a few years. About 1848 or 1850 he bought a tract of land in Antrim township, near the Maryland line, five miles southeast of Greencastle, with a sawmill on it run by waterpower. In the 1850s he had a steam engine and boiler placed in the mill to help run the saw, as the water was failing. He was quite a country lawyer and business man, settling estates and doing other legal business for his neighbors. He was once chosen a candidate for the Legislature, but was defeated.
